Independence Beach gets its name from the
deserted hulk of the 7 -storey Independence Hotel at the north end. Locals call
this beach 'otel bram-pil chann (hotel 7-stories). It is labeled '7-Chann Beach'
on the in-town street sign. Independence is more than a kilometer long, but the
sandy area is much narrower making the beach best when the tide is low. The
beach is wider and more tourists toward the northwest end near a small fresh
water lake (which is the source of the town's fresh water and is rumored to
contain crocodiles). At the other end is the beach's only hotel, Sea Breeze.
Grass umbrellas and drink vendors only hotel, Sea Breeze. Grass umbrellas and
drink vendors now line the beach from end to end but it is still much less
frequented than other beaches. The road up to the old Independence Hotel is
often frequented by a small troop of Rhesus monkeys but is currently closed
while the hotel is undergoing renovation.
