Short answer: Koh Larn is the island off Pattaya, with clearer water than the mainland. The main beach is Tawaen (where boats dock — lively, lots of activities); for quiet choose Samae on the west; Tien/Nual are the calmest with lovely water. Most people day-trip, but staying overnight gives you the quiet island after the day boats leave.
