Overview

Ocean Beach Park is a man-made coastal public area located along the waterfront in Rạch Giá, Kiên Giang. It functions as an artificial beach development created through land reclamation along the city's western coastline. The park features a sandy shoreline specifically designed to provide swimming access within a city historically defined by industrial port activity. Its layout includes paved walkways, green landscaping, and open spaces designed for leisure and outdoor activities. The park serves as a central social hub for local residents, particularly during the late afternoon and evening. It is integrated into the city’s coastal infrastructure, providing a direct connection between the urban grid and the Gulf of Thailand.
