It's compact and has a great view right across Patong Bay. The beach itself is barely 150 metres long and there is another small beach next to it, reached by a path through the rocks.
Paradise Beach features shade-giving palm trees and tropical almonds (terminalia catappa). There are large granite rocks at both ends of the beach and a coral reef some 100 metres out.
Jet-skis are actively discouraged from approaching the beach, resulting in a calm, peaceful location.
