Nai Harn Beach

Nai Harn Beach on the southern tip of Phuket is my favourite Phuket beach, its in a shallow bay and unlike many Thailand beaches is quite deep, leaving plenty of room for beach activities such as frisbee and beach football. The water is shallow for a reasonable distance so its safer for children, (but they should be supervised) and the bay prevents many of the stronger currents that circulate around Phuket. The treeline at the back of the beach is host to varity of bars and restaurents, so getting a snack or meal or few beers and enjoying it the shade isn't a problem. Nearby accommodation is scarse, which means Nai Harn beach doesn't get as busy as other Phuket beaches, but there's plenty of car parking and room for motorbikes between the main road and the beach.
