I love beaches that serve seafood!

I love beaches that serve seafood! One such recent experience was at the Tawaen beach at Ko Lan/Ko Laan/Ko Larn Island, more popularly known as Coral Island. Ko Larn is a small, beautiful and nature-rich island located 7.5 km off Pattaya shore. After breakfast, we set out to Coral Island by a speedboat with a mid-sea stopover at a huge barge where we could go for Parasailing. Bookings for other water sports at Coral Island, that is Jet skiing, Sea walking, Snorkeling, Banana boat etc., were also made at this barge.  We then proceeded to Tawaen beach by another speedboat.

Ko Larn island is about four kilometres long and two kilometres wide. It is an island of hills covered with low tropical forest. A Buddhist shrine is located at its highest point, 180 metres above sea level.

Most of Ko Larn's eight beaches with crystal clear water and endless stretches of fine white sand are on its west side. And the most visited is Tawaen Beach. The beach is lined with Seafront tourist shops, small eateries and restaurants as you can see in the attached photos and video.

After lots of activity and walking on the island we felt hungry. And a plate of pink prawns and fish… fresh from the Sea and some chicken satiated our appetite. 

So much of seafood along the lovely beach and the beautiful South China Sea tempted us to stay back on the island for a day or two. The island has plenty of accommodation.

But then there was so much more left to experience on the mainland and plenty of fresh seafood there too.

After half a day’s stay at this very large and beautiful beach, we returned to Pattaya with everlasting happy memories of this wonderful place, and the seafood we had there.
