  • Usually, entry into the water is moderately gentle, such beaches are 53.
  • An important clarification, 11 beaches in the region have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Phuket is less than 500 meters. 49 beaches are relatively easy to access, 1 beach are difficult to access, which in most cases means that you have to walk a quite long distance, and 20 beaches are only accessible from the water.

The vast majority of Phuket beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.

Latest reviews on Phuket's beaches

Naiyang Beach
8 Gregoire Tallard

Family beach with plenty of restaurants, massage, 7/11. Calm water, protected bay walk 20 meters to neck depth.

Mai Khao beach
7 Gregoire Tallard

Kilometer long beach with a bakdrop with some trees that provide shades. Stong under water current and wavy when the wind picks up.

Ao Sane Beach
10 Ethan Larson

This beach is fantastic for snorkeling, and it's easy to do right from the shore. It's best to arrive early to secure a good spot before it becomes too crowded. If you're fortunate, you may even catch a glimpse of the wing foil surfers. However, it's not worth trekking to the neighboring beach since it's small and noisy due to construction in the area.

Ao Yon Beach
10 Ricardo Silva

This beach is an absolute gem, with serene surroundings and a tranquil atmosphere. The lack of crowds adds to the charm, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway.

Tri Trang Beach
10 Korovin Ivan

While many people suggest Diamond beach, I personally think this spot is just as good, if not better. The sand is lovely and there aren't many people, plus there's a vendor selling drinks. It's best to arrive in the morning so you can swim for a while before the water recedes in the afternoon.

Soi Ruamjai Beach
10 Tico Durban

The beach is really nice and peaceful. It feels like a miniature version of the Gulf of Morbihan in Phuket.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 15 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is April - air temperature during this time warms up to 30.2°C and water up to 31.2°C. The coldest month is November - air temperature drops to 28.5°C and water to 29.6°C. Air and water temperature allows you to relax comfortably in the region all year round, which is enjoyed by tourists and locals.
