Phuket, the largest island of the Land of Smiles, boasts of pristine beaches that are adorned with picture-perfect palm groves. Beaches that pulsate with dancing crowds at night, or the tranquil strips of sands that offer total relaxation – Phuket has them all!
Possibly the most popular beach in Phuket for its clean shoreline and many a Phuket real estate for sale nearby, Patong beach is a bustling area with a never-ending stream of activities at your fingertips. You'd be able to indulge in a variety of sports like jet skiing, and parasailing, which is quite a popular activity at this beach. Lining the three-kilometre strip of immaculate beach is a blend of coconut trees and tropical almond trees which separate the beach from the main road. You can also find a bunch of beachfront restaurants and massage parlours at this location, which lies within a driving distance to many luxury properties such as Avadina Hills by Anantara.
With a striking beach that stretches on for 13 kilometres, the Mai Khao Beach in Phuket boasts of the longest beach of the island. Visitors at this magnificent strip of the beach can look forward to having a relaxing time under the many trees that provide shelter from the sun. The Mai Khao Beach is pretty silent compared to its vibrant and enthusiastic neighbourhood, the Patong Beach. The water has that tropical warmth in it, which makes it an ideal location for a refreshing swim. The low season brings enormous waves, which creates a fantastic environment for surfing and bodyboarding.
A wide and picturesque beach that is three-kilometres long, Nai Yang Beach is the perfect place to put down a towel and relax to your heart's content for a few hours. It is famous as a great destination for that much-needed family vacation. Surrounded by many fine resorts, the Nai Yang beach usually gets high ratings from its enthusiastic visitors. A bird's eye view would show you a pleasing view of the traditional boats peppered across the sea.
A small strip of beautiful sandy shoreline, the Layan Beach in Phuket has a lovely island to which you can walk when the tide gets low. You can reach this captivating beach by walking across the sand from Bang Tao Beach. It's a spectacular beach area that is usually occupied by the guests of the nearby luxury resorts, which has made it an oasis of tranquillity. It is a frequent scenery where people relax by the sea in beach chairs and umbrellas that have been placed there by the adjacent resorts.
It is quite ironic how you have to pay an entrance fee to enter the "Freedom" beach. However, it is worth coming over to this beach due to its sheer gorgeousness. Getting here requires a hike through the forest, or you could hire a long-tail boat and arrive at the beach in style. The beach is truly a feast for the eyes with its pleasingly white sands surrounded by the teal ocean and the verdant jungle. The south of the sea is famous for its submerged corals, but the rest of the area is free for a rejuvenating swim. One can look forward to exciting snorkelling and free diving opportunities that are available at this stunningly beautiful beach.
