Phuket Part V

Nai Harn Beach

A tranquil and picturesque beach near the southern tip of the island. There are not many places to stay here, but the beach is easy to obtain from Kata and Karon.

One of the most beautiful beaches of Phuket, Nai Harn is relatively undeveloped thanks to Samnak song Nai Harn monastery, which occupies much of the land by the sea at its north of Le Meridien Phuket Yacht Club, which has a few bars restaurants and just before, but in general the area is quiet.

Behind the beach is a lagoon where there are some housing developments and some upscale bars and restaurants.

Ao Sane

This is a small rocky beach that can only be achieved by a small road which passes under the Phuket Yacht Club. There are a couple of bungalow operations here and some restaurants.

During the dry season, the sea here is ideal for swimming. However, the waves during the rainy season can be quite large with strong currents. Check flags for swimming. This is probably the best place for surfing in Phuket, although few surfers make it this far south.
