Attractions:
Highlights of Ban Krud Beach is the long beach of 12 km along the small beach road shaded by coconut trees, the fruit which has been the sources of occupations of Ban Krud people for a long time.
The beach area is spacious without any construction and has not many tourists to spoil the original beauty except the clean brown san and the sea of moderate level for good swimming. The beach area begins at Khao Thong Chat at the north stretching to reach the southern tip.
On Khao Thong Chai, the moderate sized mountain accessed by asphalt road has the viewpoint offering the wonderful curved bay of Ban Krud Beach. There is also the prominent Phramaha Chedi Kao Yod (nine-spire pagoda) being constructed by the hands of Ban Krud people to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of His Majesty the King. Phramaha Chedi has the very outstanding beauty, both exterior and interior especially the stained- glass which narrates the Lord Buddha’s history, the out-door Buddha Image with the face of the Greek God or Kanthara Arts of India and the Shrine of Krommaluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak, Father of Thai Navy.
At the north of Khao Thong Chai, besides Ban Krud Beach is another beautiful beach, very shady of coconut trees and more peaceful. It is Thang Sai Beach of a few resorts where Khao Lamra is located at the beach’s tip, only about 300 m from shore. The wonderful shallow water coral reef is found at this area.
