The best part about visiting Phuket is the wide array of beaches that welcome people with open arms. There is a range of places from empty beaches to coastlines that are packed with travellers and digital nomads looking to enjoy a little bit of time under the sun.
From Patong, you can take a 10-minute long-tail boat journey to Freedom Beach, where you'll find peace. One of the finest coastlines in Phuket, this secret wonder is why you travelled to Thailand, to begin with, which was to marvel at the gorgeous, practically unspoilt beauty.
Freedom Beach is a return to Thailand's idyllic coastline before mass tourism transformed it into a bustling tourist destination, complete with pristine sands and a laid-back vibe.
Those wanting a little more than just an adventure may climb the concrete steps at the north end of the peninsula. An amazing panorama of jade-coloured water that is so clean that you could see the coral reefs below is their treat.
There are also many restaurants in Phuket so be sure to check out the Avani+ Mai Khao Phuket Suites & Villas after some time in the sun.
Kata Yai's sandy bay is one of the island's best swimming sites, and it's a safe place for kids to splash around. While they're busy constructing sandcastles you may relax with a beach massage. It's also an excellent spot for snorkelling around the rocky outcroppings.
Kata Beach is a family favourite since it is both tranquil and lovely. Kata Noi and Kata Yai which is the larger sector in the south end, with family hotels and businesses) are the two sections. Both are breath-taking and provide magnificent views of Koh Pu, a little island off the coast of Thailand, especially after sunset.
Ao Sane's sand is coarser than that found on other Phuket beaches. It's also filled with rocks, so don't expect to play volleyball here. This lovely area, on the other hand, is one of the top snorkelling and diving spots on the island. It's also bordered by massive trees that give much-needed shade to keep you comfortable.
A pro-tip is to remember to bring everything you need because there is no place to buy or rent anything along the beach. The flourishing reef requires a snorkel and mask.
Patong Beach is the island's longest and most popular beach. It's not the destination for you if you want to have a peaceful time, though. Imagine Miami Beach, and you'll get a good idea of what to expect at Patong. This crowded strand is excellent for shopping, and dining—also it's where you can get a pedicure while eating spicy curry.
This beach is calmer than its coastal neighbours, providing tourists with a more relaxed atmosphere. There will still be enough to do (such as parasailing, swimming, and jet skiing), but Karon makes relaxation a simple "sport."
