Walking south along the beach, you'll start to see the sea on both sides of the beach. Actually on one side there is an island with a narrow sea passageway that separates it from the beach, where I could see the occasional fishermen boat passing.
It's possible to swim to the island in a couple of minutes.
Walking in the same direction of the boat for some kms I could reach a small village of local sea gypsies, whose only occupation is fishing for their own needs.

Many many shells, though most of them of the same species ("Tuttitella Terebra"). Especially between the few rocks at the northern end of the beach there were really tons of them.
With some patience, it's possible to find also other species with different shape and colour.

At the northern end of Hat Bang Ben beach there is a rocky promontoir backed by a portion of rainforest with some wildflife. I could hear many unidentified animal sounds and I could see some monkeys between the trees from far away. No way to reach the forest from the beach.

The beach in Hat Bang Ben is wide, endless & deserted (at least when I visited).
You can walk kms on the shore without meeting anybody. The beach was also very clean, that is not so obvious as usually the sea brings some rubbish even in the most remote coastal areas.
The beach is mostly backed by pine and casuarina trees, especially around the National Park headquarters, offering a bit of shadow during the midday heat.
