In Pattaya you have this really lousy stroke of beach about all the time that's about 10m wide. However every now and then the low tide get's to 1m (all year long except for sept-nov unfortunately) and the beach turns in a 200m broad beach with knee deep pools of water for about 2 hours. A world apart and great for walking/jogging.
Does the same thing happen at Hua Hin with the low tides? How broad is the beach in Hua Hin in the first place with the general high tide?

Re: Tides in Hua Hin
Yes it's the same over here, but not as marked.
The highest tides are around December/January time and the stretch in front of the Hilton to the Marriott must condense to about 50 meters or so. With sun loungers out and plenty of people walking, it gets crowded.
After The Marriott, it opens up a bit to maybe 150 meters, but after the Hyatt (more in Khao Takiab) the sea can be right up to the walls and it gets tricky to walk - you're quite likely to stumble in a hole or hit a rock that you can't see because of the water.
I havn't been down to the beach for about a month, but at this time of year the tides are low and the beach widens to about 200 meters in places. Good for walking and jogging. There are still the occasional high tides, but they're not as high as later in the year.

Where would you take a kid (3 year) for a play then Lomu? Suan Son?
Re: Tides in Hua Hin
If you go down to the stretch of the beach around the soi 102 mark, it should be OK there. The narrow stretches will be around the main hotels in town and south of Chiva Som/Hyatt.
The above bit of beach normally has some small restaurants/beers stops in the high season, so you've got somewhere to park yourself.
Don't really know Suan Son that well to be conversant with how the tides affect the beach.
The beach on the south side of Monkey Mountain will probably be good as well.

Re: Tides in Hua Hin
Every time we're in HH that's where we head. The very last soi that opens to the beach is usually empty and plenty of room to park the car. A few good beach bars/restaurants at that end also. Good place to hang out while the kids play. Beach has always been wide when we've been there. The only minus is that there seems to be a lot of dogs that have territorial disputes right on the beach.

Re: Tides in Hua Hin
There is always quite a width of sand at the north end of Sai Noi, whatever the state of the tide.BaaBaa. wrote:Where would you take a kid (3 year) for a play then Lomu? Suan Son?
