One restaurant especially good is in the north of the beach called Mr. Wee’s, the pizza here is legendary.

On The Road Behind Long Beach
If you head to the main road you may need a taxi or motorbike to get around as Pra-Ae is quite spread out. The main surgery with Dr.Salarin is in Phr-Ae and also a dentist. Look out for the Irish Bar and Barcode. If you want great food try checking out the Red Snapper Restaurant, The Tavern or Retro Cafe. You will also find many shops, internet services, ATM’s and of course a 24hr 7 Eleven.
