Rawai & nai harn beach
Rawai Beach is a 17km stretch of sand, that lies at the southernmost tip of Phuket. This west-facing beach is a very pleasant one, with plenty of trees providing shade. Just west of Rawai is Promthep Cape, a small peninsula that provides an excellent viewpoint over the Andaman Sea. As Rawai is rather close to Phuket Town, it’s often the beach of choice for family outings.
Further north from Rawaai is Nai Harn Beach. This quiet 2,2 km stretch of beach, has a village atmosphere and a slightly hippy vibe. If you are interested in trying some super healthy vegan beachside cafés, yoga and meditation studios, and more, this area is ideal for you. Simple shops sell beachwear and Thai crafts, while casual restaurants specialize in local cuisine. Visitors walk the peaceful grounds of Buddhist monastery Wat Nai Harn, and tree-fringed, freshwater Nai Harn Lake is popular for jogging.
