The Best Beaches in Phuket

There's a beach in Phuket for everyone — whether you're after a quiet corner or a lively atmosphere. Here are the island's best beaches:

• Nai Yang Beach: Part of Sirinat National Park, shaded by large trees, great for picnics and camping.
• Nai Thon Beach: Ideal for escaping the crowds, tucked into a small bay.
• Layan Beach: An untouched beach next to a small island and a large lagoon.
• Surin Beach: A luxury party beach with clear water and white sand.
• Kamala Beach: A large, beautiful beach that's usually not too crowded even in high season.
• Patong Beach: Phuket's most famous party beach.
• Karon Beach: A pedestrian and cycling path runs the length of the beach.
• Kata Beach: A natural gem nestled between hills, and a popular surf spot in low season.
