Beach overall scores
Sangchai Beach (Phuket) is located outside the Ban Rawai settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Phuket island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Sangchai Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"If you're seeking a peaceful and secluded beach, Sangchai is the perfect spot. It's a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle, especially when compared to the beautiful but more crowded Freedom Beach. It's just a one-minute walk from the scooter parking area and can be accessed from the street via a two-minute bumpy path."

"I really enjoy the privacy and cleanliness of this beach. The atmosphere is great. I did have to pay 10 baht to a local resident, though."
