Pattaya is known as a busy place. Yet it has its captivatingly beautiful and tranquil spots too, and few offer you such pleasant respite from the chaos and the noise as Crescent Moon Beach. Located in a corner of the Wong Amat area to the north of Pattaya Beach, this is the place to go if you want to recover from a night on the town or indulge in some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
Get back to nature and experience the incredible beauty of the region here, far away from the roads. Stay quiet as you chill out on your corner of the beach and you’ll hear nothing but the gentle waves of the ocean and the sands blowing in the wind – the ideal soundtrack for a peaceful day. This is a true haven of peace, and locals enjoy coming here to kick back and relax as much as the tourists do.
Although this isn’t the place to come if you want to enjoy motorboats, surfing or other water sports, you’ll still find all the facilities you could need to make the most of your day, as well as plenty of ways to help you relax. Indulge in a traditional Thai message, take a light bite to eat or sip a cocktail from one of the bars along the beach – whatever your heart desires.
Families should head to the Centara Grand Hotel, where you can enjoy the thrills and spills of the water park (a small admission charge applies). Located just behind the beach itself, here you’ll appreciate its natural backdrop where waterfalls trickle over stunning rock formations. You can go hurtling down the slides or simply lie back and enjoy a pleasant drink.
Situated between Naklua Beach and Palm Beach to the north of Pattaya Beach, Crescent Moon Beach is easy to reach. If you come by car, you will be able to park on nearby Naklua Road.
