The resort has three beaches within its boundaries. One is – Paparat Txara, in the western part of the resort; the other is Paui Phlong, surrounded by dense vegetation and occupying a separate cove on the east side of the city. The most popular is Ao Nanga Beach, located in a cluster of forested cliffs.
