Saeng Chan Beach is one of the well-known beaches in Rayong, Thailand. It is located approximately 6 kilometers from Rayong City. It is on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. It is one of four connected beaches that stretch for 11 kilometers along the bay, the others being Laem Charoen Beach, Suchada Beach, and Sai Thong Beach. There are few beach amenities and the other side of the beach road where the seafood restaurants are located, is mostly undeveloped. Furthermore, this location was once a fishermen's village. Previously, when this beach was not widely known, villagers had thrown trash at this beach. However, this beach is now being cleaned by the government, villagers, tourists, and volunteers.

History
Saeng Chan Beach is one of many beaches along the Leab Chai Fang Road together with Suchada Beach and Maerumpung Beach which are adjacent to each other. In the past, this area was the location of a fishing village that grew from Paknam Rayong.
The name of Saeng Chan Beach, "Saeng Chan" means “moonlight”. It is from the appearance of each pool of the coast that it looks like the moon crest concaves into the coast. In addition, Saeng Chan Beach also has another common name called "PMY Beach" which most people in the area called by the name of the hotel in the area that has been around for a long time.[1]
One feature that distinguishes this beach from others is the presence of numerous man-made stone barriers running the length of the beach in the water. However, the stone barriers have not always existed in the first place. The reason for the barrier's construction was due to long-ago sea reclamation and the development of a port in the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, which had the effect of shifting the wind and water direction, making coastline erosion more severe than previously. As a result, the rocky barriers were designed to prevent those issues. Then, as a result of the presence of barriers, crescent moon-shaped pools appeared and continue to exist to this day.[2]
Furthermore, when viewed from above, the appearance of rocky barriers on each coast can be seen, which are aligned in a T-shape along the beach alternating with crescent moon-shaped pools.[2]
