Phuket Beaches the Top 10 Very Best

Discover thailand with Thailand Discovery

With the help of the information on the Internet and also personal experience I have compiled a list of what are considered to be the best 10 beaches in Phuket. “What is the Best Beach in Phuket?” Well, that is really down to personal choice and preference because most beaches have their good and bad sides. There are very few if any beaches that really have everything. Let me know what you think?

 

Phuket Beaches the Top 10 Very Best

#1 FREEDOM BEACH

LOCATION: PATONG

Freedom Beach is one of the least accessible of all the Phuket beaches. Unless you are in the mood to trek a kilometer through thick jungle over private land, the beach is only accessible by boat. But if you enjoy spending a day in the sunny Phuket weather relaxing on a lounger, Freedom Beach is a good choice.

#2 BANANA BEACH

LOCATION: LAGUNA

Once upon a time, Banana Beach was one of the last unspoilt Phuket beaches, but lately the secret has apparently gotten out and the tourists have flocked here in droves. It is also known as Banana Rock Beach and despite the rise in tourism, the beach is still stunningly beautiful.

#3 KATA NOI BEACH

LOCATION: KATA

Located just south of Kata Beach, Kata Noi Beach is one of the most beautiful Phuket beaches. Unlike it’s big brother, Kata Noi Beach is still reasonably undeveloped, giving it a more private feel. There are no beach vendors and only a handful of loungers to bask in the sun.

#4 KATA BEACH

LOCATION: KATA

Kata beach is a popular stop over for many tourists as it is one of the nicest Phuket beaches. Despite all of the tourist activity located on and around the beach, Kata beach is still very beautiful. The beach is lined with casuarina trees that offer a relaxing shade to those afraid of the sun.

#5 LAEM SINGH BEACH

LOCATION: SURIN

Laem Singh Beach is one of the more beautiful beaches in Phuket Island and was relatively unknown until recently. Nowadays, the beach is packed full of tourists, but you really can’t blame them. Despite the increase in tourism, the beach is still absolutely stunning and well worth a look.

#6 NAI HARN BEACH

LOCATION: NAI HARN

Nai Harn Beach is one of the best Phuket beaches with it’s beautiful white sand that slopes gently into the Andaman Sea. This beautiful beach is never as crowded as some of the more popular tourist beaches and as a result, offers a more quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

#7 WHITE BEACH

LOCATION: LAGUNA

White Beach is a one kilometer long stretch of the squeakiest sand that you will ever experience in your whole life. It is considered part of the Sirinath National Park and has thus far escaped the over-development that many of the other Phuket beaches have suffered.

#8 BANG TAO BEACH

LOCATION: LAGUNA

Bang Tao Beach is an eight kilometer stretch of fantastic beach, making it one of the absolute best Phuket beaches. It is home to the famous Laguna Complex, an area consisting of seven upscale resorts and a private golf course. Laguna dominates much of the center of the beach, with a number of hotels and bungalows operating at the southern end.

#9 KAMALA BEACH

LOCATION: KAMALA

Kamala Beach is a beautiful two kilometer stretch of white sand beach that is the perfect destination for families wanting to stay away from Patong. Before it was a small Muslim fishing village and although there is still a significant Muslim population, now Kamala is a bustling little town.

#10 SURIN BEACH

LOCATION: SURIN

Surin Beach is a one kilometer long strip of golden sand that provides all the luxuries of Patong Beach without the dirty water and huge number of tourists. The beach is famous for it’s crystal clear water that will make you think Patong Beach is a not so clean.
