Nai Thon Beach Phuket
Nai Thon is a beautiful stretch of sand that for reasons unknown has still been overlooked by large resort developers, located on a secluded island paradise, yet only 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport and the excitement of the province. Thus it's an ideal spot to get away from the crowds and enjoy a quiet swim.
It's a village of two seasons, during the high season the hotels fill up, the sea is flat, calm and crystal clear, beach restaurants appear where you can dine with your bare feet in the sand, very much a stereotypical tropical paradise.
In low season the boot's on the other foot, it's almost a ghost town with an occasionally raging sea.
The journey to the beach is almost more enjoyable than the beach itself. On the southern approach to Nai Thon, the narrow road leads through some of the island's last remaining virgin jungle, and winds along a coastline that rivals
Cote d'Azur in its brilliant beauty. If driving to Nai Thon from the north, the road takes you through a village then into a lush green valley before reaching the beach.
Activities to be enjoyed whilst staying here include exploring rocky coves only accessible by longtail boat and scuba diving which can be arranged by the dive shop on the Beach Road.
Nai Thon is both very quiet and stunningly beautiful. This one road town is undiscovered by the masses so you'll have all the space you need to relax. There's a 'hidden' part of Nai Thon Beach, it's very easy to get to whatever the tide, you just walk around the rocks at the southern end.

Nai Thon Beach isn't to be confused with Nai Thorn Beach which is 600m further south and only accessible via the grounds of Andaman White Beach Resort or by longtail boat.
One of the features that makes Nai Thon so loved is the water quality, most of the year there's 15m+ visibility with totally flat water, perfect for snorkeling.
From May to September there can be rougher conditions including waves and strong undertows so care should be taken whilst swimming, on rough days the red warning flags will
