The beach is about 2.5 km (1.6 mi) long, maintained by Thesaban Mueang (town municipality) Saen Suk.

[2] Originally a fishing village, Bang Saen became a tourist attraction during the government of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, which was the same time as World War II, when the government built two seaside resorts were Bang Pu in Samut Prakan and Bang Saen, along with the construction of Sukhumvit road (Highway 3), making travel from Bangkok to the eastern seacoast easier.

But from October to February of every year, the sea at Bang Saen is as clear as the Maldives, a natural phenomenon.

Highlights of this aquarium are a Bryde's whale skeleton from the Gulf of Thailand and a large tank housing giant groupers, blacktip reef sharks, and spotted eagle rays.

It is regarded as another interesting attraction in Bang Saen Beach area.
