Beautiful people beach fairly busy yet wild backdrop. Need to go down the road in stairs made in the ground. Can be slippery but worth the little effort (5 minutes).

This charming beach can be reached by a quick, albeit steep, trail. The parking area is ample and free of cost. While it may not compare to the exotic locales of Mauritius, the Bahamas, or Maldives, this Thai beach offers the unique opportunity to practice your Russian language skills. In fact, you may find yourself to be the only non-native Russian speaker on the entire beach!

This charming beach was suggested by a friendly local, and it did not disappoint. Although not expansive in size, there was ample room to relax and soak up the stunning scenery when the sun was shining. The affordable beachside restaurant was a pleasant surprise, and there were even some shady areas to escape the heat. The descent down to the beach may be a bit unsteady, but most visitors should be able to manage with care. While there was a small amount of debris washed up on the shore, it was minimal compared to other Phuket beaches. All in all, a fantastic discovery!

This secluded beach is a true gem. The most convenient route down is through the middle path, which is relatively effortless. However, it's essential to be cautious of the large rocks in the waves. The tiki hut offers affordable drinks and food, making it an excellent spot to relax and unwind. It's essential to do your part in preserving the environment by picking up any plastic you come across. Although the locals put in their best effort, the Thai government does not accept the rubbish collected from the beach, making it challenging for them to keep it clean.

To ensure, there are no authorized parking spots provided for this beach, thus parking is at your own peril. The path leading to the beach is quite challenging and steep, which might be the reason why the number of visitors is limited, making this beach more secluded and serene. The stores at the beachfront have a hospitable and inviting ambiance, unlike the ones in Surin, which can be overwhelming. The atmosphere is lively and pleasant, creating a positive vibe that is hard to resist.
