One of the best things about a sailing holiday in Phuket is the abundance of sandy beaches and clear waters to take advantage of. Here is our guide to the top 5 beaches in Phuket not to be missed.
Patong Beach
This is probably one of the most well known beaches in Phuket, as it’s a very popular place to party with it’s great variety of activities and nightlife. There are bars, discos and cabaret shows a plenty and lots of places to shop, so if you’re looking for plenty of action then this is the beach for you!
Kamala Beach
If you fancy a much quieter scene then Kamala Beach is a must visit. This is a beautiful long stretch of white sandy beach, fringed with crystal clear sea and is an idyllic spot for some peaceful sunbathing.
Kata Beach
This is a popular spot for families, and is a good compromise between Kamala and Patong, as it boasts a stunning sandy bay with some nightlife and restaurants, but generally much more laid back and quieter than Patong.
Karon Beach
A perfect spot if you fancy doing some shopping, as there is a lovely beachside avenue, with plenty of gift and handicraft shops to browse in.
Nai Harn Beach
This is a popular spot for yachts to anchor in, it is a picturesque tranquil bay and is also home to the The Royal Phuket Yacht Club and boasts some lovely restaurants just above the beach.
