Mae Nam is a bay with an attractive seaside atmosphere and a long narrow beach of around 4km. The attractive, peaceful and quiet beach is suitable for relaxation and swimming, but the sea is deep and rough in places, so care should be taken when going into the sea. The west side of the beach is adjoined to Wat Na Pralaan, which may be visited on foot. The central part of the beach is the site of Mae Nam village, home to an old island community and featuring a market, restaurants, laundry shops, retail shops, diving and water-sports shops and a port harbouring boats bound for Koh Pha-ngan.
