 Khao Lak Beach
is located at the southern end of the Khao-Lak Lamru National park. With a length of approximately 2kms it is the shortest of Khao-Lak's beaches but yet the one with the most tropical atmosphere due to its surroundings being dominated by big limestone boulders on the southern end.
Steep mountains dominate the northern end, where nature has carved out a small lagoon-like beach. Khao-Lak beach starts close to "Poseidon Bungalows", where a mangrove river divides Khao-Lak beach from Tap Lamu Beach.
 Nang Thong Beach is the second beach a Khao-Lak visitor will find when travelling north coming from Phuket and is the 3km long. This is the busiest beach in Khao-Lak due to the fact that Khao-Lak tourism started here with a small bungalow resort.
Nang Thong Beach features one of Khao-Lak's most picturesque stretches of sand named "Happy Lagoon".
 Bang Niang Beach has developed from a backpacker heaven to Khao-Lak's high society beach since the 2004 Tsunami. The simple bamboo huts have been replaced by stylish resorts and exclusive private homes.
 Khukkak, Pak Weep and Bang Sak Beaches are the quietest and least developped beaches in Khao-Lak. Several lagoons and rivers divide the beaches, which are in some areas extremely broad.
Khukkak and Pak Weep Beach are divided by an interesting cape known as "Laem Pakarang".
 Laem Pakarang - Pakarang means coral in Thai. It is a very picturesque
and dream-like cape with a road dividing the public beach from private land plots and resorts.
Due to its rich natural resources and a geographically interesting shape, Laem Pakarang is the perfect spot for relaxing beach walks and snorkelling excursions.
