It is not clean water and some trash on the sand. Many traders visiting Central Pattaya Beach to sell their goods to tourists. Also you can get massage right on the beach. However, i think it is not good choice. The South end of Walking Street is beginning of Arthachinda Road which is connected with Phratamnak Road. End of this road is connected Thappraya Road. If you go to the South end of Thappraya Road you will get to the Jomtien Beach Road. It is South border of South Pattaya district.
