Description
Military Beach: the perfect place to stay in Pattaya
Military beach, located about 30 kilometers from Pattaya, not accidentally got its name. Previously, there was a military base here, and now a military academy is functioning. This beach is also known by other names: Sai Keo Beach and Blue Lagoon.
This place, along with Koh Lan Island, is a great alternative to the beaches of Pattaya, which can not boast the same clear and clear water. The water on the Military Beach is really clean and clear, and the scenery is picturesque. The infrastructure fully meets the needs of vacationers.
The length of the coastline is about 400 meters, covered with light sand, which is pleasant to walk on. The entrance to the water is convenient, but more comfortable on the left, where there are no stones. The depth is small, which makes this place popular with families with children.
Infrastructure and entertainment
An entrance fee is required to enjoy your stay at Sai Keo Beach. The price is 100 baht for adults and 50 baht for children. Despite the fact that the entrance fee is paid, the beach is always full of tourists, especially on weekends and holidays, when locals come here.
On the beach there are many trees, in the shade of which you can hide from the sun on hot days. You can relax on your own beach mat or towel, or rent a sun lounger. The rental price is 30 baht, of which 10 will be refunded upon delivery of inventory. The beach is equipped with free changing rooms, showers and toilets. The territory is clean and well-groomed, there is a lot of greenery, flower beds, benches and gazebos.
For lovers of marine entertainment, standard options are offered: banana, kayak and aquabike rides. Snorkeling and diving facilities are available for those who want to explore the depths of the sea. Massages can also be arranged on the beach. Near the beach there are retail outlets with drinks, ice cream and fruit. You can have lunch in the cafes located nearby.
Please note that the time of your stay on the beach is limited — you must leave the territory before 18: 00. The exception is for vacationers who are staying in a hotel located on the beach. The bungalow can be rented for the night, which will allow you to stay in the place you like and enjoy the sunset on the sea.
Housing
Some travelers prefer to stay in Pattaya and go to the beach, as the distance is not so long. Others are looking for accommodation options closer to the place of rest — in Sattahip. There are many hotels here, designed for different budgets. Often vacationers stay at the Ambassador Hotel.

Reviews
In their reviews, travelers recommend downloading an app that allows you to track the situation with low tides. This will help you plan your trip for the day when the sea will have the most favorable conditions for swimming. For some vacationers, the sea here seems shallow, which is an advantage for children, but not very comfortable for experienced swimmers.
Lovers of a quiet and secluded holiday here may not like it, as there are quite a lot of vacationers on any day of the week. The only way to enjoy a half — empty beach is to arrive early in the morning and take a comfortable seat, enjoying the quiet.
Not everyone likes the access system to the beach and the need to pass several checkpoints and leave documents.
Some tourists warn that near the beach you can meet monkeys, which are not always friendly.
How to get to the Military Beach
You can get to the beach on your own or book a tour at a travel agency. The advantage of the second option is that there is no need to submit documents to the checkpoint.

A more expensive way to get to the beach is to rent a taxi, although in the case of a large group of travelers, this may not be so expensive.
