There are a number of seafood restaurants ranging from small Thai style places to large expensive resorts. You can get a great views from the top of the temple at Khao Takiab hill, on a clear day you can see as all the way down Hua Hin beach and as far as Cha Am.

Locals sometimes play football, volleyball and takraw on the wide flat sands of Khao Takiap beach.
