Marmite's picture, if I am not mistaken, is of Hat Bang Pu a smaller beach than Dolphin Bay but nicer in my opinion. It certainly seems to get more visitors with regular coach parties turning up daily. It is about 1Km South of Dolphin Bay but 4km by the time you have driven round the headland.

From the beach here you can walk over the headland to the next beach Hat Laem Sala and then walk up the hill to Phraya Nakhon cave. If you are going to do this I strongly advise you take water with you, it is a very hot and sticky climb up - but worth it.

For those who don't want to walk too much you can pay to take a boat round the headland which cuts out the initial climb over the headland - sorry I can't remember the fare.

Other boat trips from here will take you either round the bay or up the river inland to admire the mangroves and the wildlife in the park. I haven't tried that but I may give it a whirl when I'm back in July.

Here's a piccie of the river just back from the beach and looking inland.
