Growth and biomass of 9 species beach forest seedlings namely Cerbera odollum, Terminalia catappa, Derris indica, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Thespesia populnea, Calophyllum inophyllum, Syzygium grande, Diospyros areolata and Casuarina equisetifolia grown in the nursery condition was carried out at Andaman Coastal Research Station for Development, Ranong Province. Diameter at root collar (D0) and total height (H) were measured at every month until 6 month-old. Seedlings of each species were randomly selected for determination of dry biomass including stems leaves roots and total biomass. The result indicated that growth of all species of beach forest seedlings tended to increase with ages. Cerbera odollum seedlings has the highest of growth of the diameter at root collar, total height and biomass of stems leaves roots and total biomass. Other species are H. tiliaceus, D. indica, S. grande, D. areolata, T. catappa, C. inophyllum, T. populnea and C. equisetifolia respectively. However, the suitable species for planting namely H. tiliaceus, T. populnea, C. inophyllum and C. equisetifolia are recommend.
