Although it is situated in Sattahip district, Ban Amphur Beach is only 14 kilometers south of Central Pattaya, beyond Ocean Marine Yacht, a series of breakwaters and a small river estuary is the 800 meter stretch of beach known as Ban Amphur Beach.Ban Amphur is a fairly wide beach bordered by a breakwater / jetty on it’s northern edge and rocky headland to the south, some areas of the beach shoreline are quite steep but quickly level and the water is not too deep despite the deceptive appearance, it’s an ideal beach for paddling.There is an assortment of loungers and deck chairs for hire on Ban Amphur Beach, the main deck chair area is set back a little from the shoreline and makes it difficult to watch the children in the sea.The seating arrangement (see photo above) is more spacious than you come to expect on Pattaya Beach or Jomtien Beach, most tables have 2 deck chairs and 2 rigid plastic chairs which is a good arrangement if you are not a deck chair fan. Like most of the beaches around Pattaya, food and drink can be ordered from the vendors running the deckchair pitch.
