🌴 Paradise Beach Pattaya — A Small, Quiet Spot in Pratumnak
A peaceful view of Paradise Beach Pattaya, seen from the upper walkway. Paradise Beach Pattaya is a small, quiet beach located in the Pratumnak area.side-by-side , almost like a pair of small coves connected to each other.
On Google Maps, if you walk down Phra Tam Nak 4 Alley and continue down the short, steep staircase,right side is Paradise Beach , and the left side is Pratumnak Beach .
Pratumnak Beach also has direct access from Asia Pattaya Hotel , so hotel guests often use it, giving it a slightly more private feel.
🏝️ Beach Atmosphere

✔ Fewer tourists 100 THB , but they’re not used as much as in other beach areas.
✔ Minimal facilities no toilet on the beach.Phra Tam Nak 4 Alley , where there are a few small shops and convenience stores.

Neither Paradise Beach nor Pratumnak Beach has direct songthaew access.
Realistic ways to get there:
Car
Motorbike
Walking
Motorbike taxi or Bolt
I Tried Getting There Cheaply — Songthaew + Walking
If you want a budget-friendly way to reach the beach, you can combine a songthaew with a bit of walking. I’m not necessarily recommending this route, but I tried it myself just to see how practical it was.
I hopped off a Jomtien–Pattaya songthaew along Thappraya Road and continued on foot. The walk took around 20 minutes — not too difficult, though the road does go slightly up and down since you’re coming from a hill area. It’s manageable, but wearing a hat or bringing some water definitely helps.
The route I took was:Thappraya Road(songthaew)→Phra Tamnak Road (on foot)→ Phra Tam Nak 4 Alley (on foot)→ follow the stairs down → left for Pratumnak Beach, right for Paradise Beach
Using Asia Pattaya Hotel as a landmark also makes things much easier, since both beaches sit directly below the hotel area.
