The 4 Most Secluded Beaches in Phuket
Let's talk beaches in Phuket, Thailand. Most visitors are familiar with the long lines of sun beds along Patong, Kata and Karon beaches. But there's more to Phuket’s beach culture. With an adventurous spirit, a set of wheels and a map of the island, you can discover some beach gems that will have you coming back for more. Here are four of Phuket’s best 'secret' beaches.
Ya Nui Beach
Nestled between Promthep Cape lookout and the long road back to Kata beach, lies Ya Nui beach. It is really two small beaches since the sand banks form two separate arcs split by a large rock formation. You will most likely be joined by some locals, who like to fish and picnic here. Keep an eye out for the loads of vibrant fish species. Kayaks, snorkel gear and umbrellas are available for rent.
Laem Singh Beach
So many people rocket by this beach as they make their way into Kamala Beach from Surin Beach, it’s a crime. Head down the cliffside path and experience one of Phuket’s most beautiful beaches. The water is clean, clear and teeming with aquatic life. Found between Kamala and Surin beaches, Laem Singh is easy to find with hand-painted signs set at the roadside, where paid parking is available.
Banana Beach
A little further afield on the upper west coast after Bang Tao, Banana Beach is well worth the trip. Located a short way north of Trisara Resort, pull over when you see a hand-made sign signaling Banana Beach. You’ll find a short steep trail down to the water. Ample snorkeling opportunities and the scarcity of boat and jet-ski activity make this an ideal choice for laid-back beach connoisseurs.
Surin Beach
Nestled along Phuket's west coast, Surin Beach is the epitome of a secluded beach getaway. Known for its powdery white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters and tranquil ambiance, this idyllic spot offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Surrounded by lush greenery, Surin Beach is perfect for travelers seeking serenity, whether you're lounging by the shore, enjoying a beachfront meal or taking in breathtaking sunsets. With fewer crowds than other popular Phuket beaches, Surin Beach invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature in a truly stunning setting.
