Beaches
Beach boundaries are fluid, and vary with local prejudices, official government pronouncements, and the marketing efforts of local resorts. It is generally accepted that Khao Lak beaches include (from south to north):
- Khao Lak Beach, south of the headland marking the southern boundary of the region
- Nang Thong Beach, in the village of Bang La On (frequently called--mistakenly--Khao Lak
- Bang Niang, in the village of the same name some 2-3 km north of Bang La On
- Khuk Khak, in the village of the same name some 2-3 km north of Bang Niang
- Cape Pakarang, north of Khuk Khak
- Bang Sak, north of Cape Pakarang
Taken together, these beaches stretch for some 25 km along the Andaman Sea. All beaches are public.

Famous quotes containing the word beaches:
“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
