Perfect 5K route starting from Jomtien Beach Road near the pier. Head south along the beach path to Dongtan Beach, then loop back on Beach Road. Mostly flat with good shade from palm trees.

Best times are 6-7 AM or after 5 PM when it's cooler. Watch for cyclists on the shared path and stay hydrated. The beach path is well-maintained concrete, easy on the knees. Public toilets and water fountains at both ends.
