I’ve recently discovered some fantastic beaches and little spots further south of Hua Hin where you can have kilometers of golden sand to yourself. This place is called Bang Berd and is located around 25 minutes south of Bangsaphan (2 hours from Hua Hin), there is a small town to the northern end of the beach and the bit we found was accessible through a Royal compound so there was no chance of any of the development that is rapidly enveloping Hua Hin and its surrounds. The ocean was crystal clear and as warm as bath water, also nice and shallow and safe for the kids. The beach is totally unmanaged so the only drawback was the long line of trash, bottles, fishing castoffs and polystyrene marking where the high tide reaches and running the length of the beach - a good 20km. All of this had been cast off from local fishing boats which can be seen at night illuminating the horizon like shining emeralds. Its such a shame that there is little respect for the environment and ocean especially from people that make their living from it, it wont last forever!
