Two riverside seafood restaurants on the north bank of the Khlong Prao canal, mid-beach, where diners get a free firefly boat tour along the mangroves.

Practical

iamkohchang: riverside seafood at the estuary in the middle of the beach, free firefly tour for diners. Explorekohchang: on the north bank of the canal, seafood about 250 THB a dish and up. The coordinate is OpenStreetMap's 'Lyara Seafood' (Phu Talay is mapped at 12.05658N 102.29289E). The Khlong Prao anchorage is just off the river mouth; a dinghy can enter the canal at mid to high tide only, as the bar dries; check depths on the way in.
