Hua Hin Beach
Hua Hin's namesake beach is the nicest of those along this part of the coast, but it's also the most popular. Though not as stunning as other Thai beaches, it's a wide, 7-km-long (4½-mile-long) boulevard of golden sand. Vendors hawk food and drink nonstop, but you can escape this parade by booking a relaxing beach massage or taking a horseback ride to less populated areas. Water sports can be arranged at various points. It can get rough and the sea isn't clear, but you can definitely swim here. Amenities: food and drink; water sports. Best for: walking.
