Hat Khai Chet, also known as Had Khai Jessada, is a military-managed beach located within the Royal Thai Marine Corps base in Sattahip. The beach features a long, curved coastline characterized by calm, shallow waters and fine, light-colored sand. It is maintained by the Marine Corps, resulting in a cleaner and more disciplined environment compared to nearby public commercial beaches. Shaded picnic areas are available under mature Casuarina trees that line the perimeter of the sand. The location offers direct views of nearby islands within the Sattahip archipelago. As a military facility, the area is subject to specific access regulations and oversight by naval personnel. Facilities are basic, focusing on functional beach-going rather than commercial luxury.
