What are some must-try local beach food options while enjoying a day at the beach?

Sampling local beach food is a delightful part of the experience. Look for vendors offering fresh seafood, like grilled squid or prawns, right by the shore.

• Don't miss out on trying Som Tum (green papaya salad) or Pad Thai; these dishes are tasty and can often be found at beachside stalls.

• For a sweet treat, coconut ice cream is a refreshing option, especially on a hot day at the beach.

Opening days, menus and prices change. Check recent information, confirm dietary needs directly and judge cleanliness, food turnover and storage rather than relying only on a high online rating.
