The Most Beautiful Beaches in Phuket

November 19, 2021
2021-11-19
Phuket is a treasure trove of beautiful beaches. From the stunning coasts near the urban districts to the different islands nearby, there's a good reason why this particular Thai island is a top tourist destination. Some would even go so far as to consider Phuket as their definition of a paradise. The place is that amazing! And of course, as already mentioned, the stars of the show here are the beaches. While Phuket has a lot, there are still those that stand head and shoulders above the rest. They're famous, picturesque, and are the main reasons why people would travel hundreds of miles to go here.

The Most Beautiful Beaches in Phuket


Patong Beach

Without a doubt, Patong Beach is the most popular beach in Phuket. It helps that it's the liveliest of the bunch, defined by its nightlife scene where many go to party and have fun come nightfall. After the sun sets, the place gets filled up with cocktails, EDM, and all sorts of shenanigans. But despite all of that, while Paton Beach is far from the most beautiful, it's still pretty up there. The white sandy beaches and jewel-tone waters add to its popularity. It's just that the nightlife and entertainment scene here sort of overshadows them all.

Kamala Beach

While Paton Beach is all about nightlife and partying, its northern neighbor, Kamala Beach, is the exact opposite. It's pretty surprising that despite the fact that these beaches are pretty near each other, they couldn't be further apart in terms fo what they offer. Kamala Beach is more like the relaxing oasis that you'd expect in a destination like Phuket. Here, all you have are the sands, the sea, and serenity. Even on its busiest days, if you're lucky, you can score a relatively remote spot away from all the hustle and bustle. This is also why Kamala Beach is among the more romantic spots on the island too.

Freedom Beach

Although Freedom Beach is located near Patong, one of the livelier districts in Phuket, it actually lives up to its name. Going here will give you a good sense of freedom as the open 300-meter stretch of white sand helps you feel more in one with nature. It's also among the quietest on the island, thanks in part to the fact that it's pretty difficult to get here. You're only options to reach Freedom Beach is to either trek through a rainforest or go by boat. And once you're here, you can enjoy your day on this largely untouched shoreline all on your own.

Karon Beach

Despite its often rocky shoreline, Karon Beach is still very much a popular area in Phuket. It's located in the northern end of the island, making it pretty difficult to get to via public transport. However, once you see this beautiful 5-kilometer trip of sand, stone, and sea, you can't help but feel like you're in paradise. Despite its reputation, Karon Beach is still pretty popular for divers and swimmers. Many people go here just to snorkel, scuba dive, and the like. It's a type of place where you'd rather spend your time in the sea than relaxing on the sand.

Kata Noi Beach

Speaking of water sports and other similar activities, arguably the best place for them in Phuket is Kata Noi Beach. Although this 700-meter stretch of sand and sea is among the smallest shorelines on the island, this only means that those who go here have more reasons to stay in the sea than go sunbathing on land. Most of what makes Kata Noi Beach lively are the scuba divers, windsurfers, snorkelers, swimmers, and the like. The beach itself is beautiful, sure, but the turquoise sea, with all its wondrous underwater ecosystems, makes it more worthwhile.

Surin Beach

There's only one way to aptly describe Surin Beach: high class. The white sandy shoreline and the jewel-toned waters are impeccable, sure, but what truly makes this place popular is the series of luxury hotels, five-star resorts, upscale restaurants & other hotspots, and more. In fact, this beach was said to be a favorite of various Thai royals in history. That alone should tell you what type of place Surin Beach is. Do note, however, that the waters here can get very deep. You need to be careful when swimming out to the sea here.

Laem Singh Beach

When you envision what a beach in Phuket looks like, there's a good chance Laem Singh Beach will come to mind. Luscious greeneries and large rock boulders surround a white sandy shoreline with a pinkish glow and gradient turquoise to azure waters. Doesn't that sound exactly like the stereotypical image of a paradise? Arguably the most scenic beach in all of Phuket, it's almost weird why Laem Singh Beach is not the most popular of them all. Sure, it doesn't have as big ofa. nightlife scene as Patong Beach, but there's still a lot to do here, ranging from water-skiing to snorkeling and more.

Nai Harn Beach

What if, instead of the usual swimming and snorkeling, you want to go surfing or kiteboarding instead? Where in Phuket do you go to do that? In Nai Harn Beach, of course! Thanks to its strong waves, this is the best place for adrenaline junkies to go all out and scream 'Cowabunga dude!' And for those who want a more peaceful time, they can simply relax on the shoreline or sneak into the beautiful serene lake just right behind the beach. This is a tiny hideaway is a great place for a boat ride or to go fishing, among many others.
