Entry, depth and waves
At the beginning of the description you probably noticed that the beach is about two meters wide at high tide. And in the pictures you can see quite a very wide strip of sand that does not fit in a bit two meters. So, the uniqueness of Lam Yai Beach is that it becomes the beach only at low tide.
The sea here is so shallow that it runs a distance half a kilometer, leaving behind the bald spots of sand and puddles, ankle deep.
As a rule, the peaks of low tides fall at midday, therefore, the opened bottom areas have time to dry out and from them you get wonderful little beaches vacationers nearby hotels. Because of the shallow water here never There is a big wave, except for the storm season. Perfect beach for kids, but boring for parents.
