Our Top 5 Beaches in Phuket
Phuket beaches have everything: beauty, adventure, tourist attractions, the best food you’ll ever find and a lavish lifestyle! It is the epitome of a perfect beach getaway. Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is also one of its most popular tourist destinations. The island’s appeal is its beautiful fine white sand, tree-fringed beaches, and unbeatably crystal-clear green seas of the Andaman Sea.
There are over 30 beaches along Phuket’s magnificent shore, each just as beautiful. Phuket’s beaches offer a little bit of everything, whether you’re searching for a spirited, lively area, a high-end luxury experience, or a secluded coastal hideaway.
All you have to do now is pick a beach. Don’t worry, we’ve whittled down your options for you.
1. Bang Tao
Despite its proximity to stores, restaurants and resorts, Bang Tao beach is calm and well-kept. Bang Tao stretches for more than six kilometres and is Phuket’s second-longest beach. The little village of Cherng Talay, which stands in stark contrast to the area’s opulent hotels, is only a short walk away.

If you’re searching for peace and quiet, the northern end of the beach is less crowded, devoid of huge hotels, and relatively undeveloped. You’ll certainly come across a couple of fishermen on their way for their daily fish. However, be aware that the surf is rougher here than in the south of the island.
Bang Tao is home to the beautiful (and gigantic) Laguna Holiday Club Phuket Resort which is right on the beach. It has its own playground and convenient access to water sports, making it an easy sell for children of all ages.
Laguna has long been the island’s ‘high-end’ neighbourhood, and the contrast between tourist and resident markets can be seen in the businesses, residences, and even cars throughout the region. However, it is still a reasonably priced option for a beach meal or drink.

In conclusion, Bangtao has evolved into one of Phuket’s most versatile beaches, with an outstanding selection of restaurants, shopping, and even beach clubs, and it is quickly becoming one of the best places to reside, retire or holiday
2. Surin Beach
Surin Beach’s most prized features are the towering palms, colourful hammocks, immaculate sand and flawlessly turquoise ocean. Local sellers sell beach toys, fresh juices, and food (as well as massages) from their makeshift stalls.
People come to Surin for the serene appeal, raw beauty, and calm, clear water, which is perfect for swimming during the high season. When you’re not lounging in the sea, throwing a frisbee, or snorkelling, keep an eye out for some interesting characters. Celebrities frequent this beach, with many of them staying at surrounding high-end resorts. These are accompanied by top-of-the-line spas that are well worth a visit. Allow yourself to be pampered!

3. Patong Beach
This beach has become the centre of Phuket nightlife, and what many people love about it is often what others despise. Despite the fact that Patong is large, bold, busy, bright, and loud, millions of people flock here every year, However, Patong also has a beautiful beach. It is home to the infamous Phuket umbrellas, clear waters and white sand people come to Phuket for.
4. Nai Harn Beach
The gorgeous Nai Harn was once a peaceful and well-kept secret, but it didn’t take long for it to become a popular beach destination. It’s no surprise that tourists (and locals) flock to this little sanctuary with its feather-soft sand, shallow waters, and amazingly pure blue surf. You won’t have to fight the crowds to locate a comfortable area to stretch out your towel, though.
One of the benefits of being well-known may be found right on the sand, in the modest stores that line the beach. You won’t have to travel far to have a pleasant beverage. Another advantage is that the beach is patrolled by lifeguards during peak season.

5. Freedom Beach
From the hustle and bustle of Patong to the heart of calm at Freedom Beach, a quick 10-minute journey in a long-tail boat will transport you. This hidden gem is one of Phuket’s cleanest beaches, and it’s why you came to Thailand in the first place: to marvel at the gorgeous, practically unspoilt beauty.
Freedom Beach is a throwback to Thailand before commercialisation converted its gorgeous shoreline into a tourist hotspot–-it’s filled with calm beaches, perfect sand, and a relaxed vibe.
Climb the cement stairs on the beach’s northern end if you’re seeking a little extra adventure. Their reward: a breathtaking panorama of jade-coloured water so transparent that the reefs below can be seen. The beach’s single restaurant, appropriately named One ‘n’ Only, can be found at the southern end. By Thai standards, the costs are expensive.
