Phuket Beaches
 Everywhere
on Phuket Island is beautiful but the south part of the island is
straight out of a tropical daydream. The southern coastline is blessed
with magnificent mountains covered with lush jungle forest that
stretch out to meet the azure blue sea and are framed with white
powder sandy beaches and fringed with coral reefs. When you see
a photograph of Phuket, it is likely to have been taken in the south
part of the island. The southern beaches offer superb vistas and
some of the most glorious sunsets in the world. The South Coast
Area covers the part of the island
that lies south of Relax Bay on the west and then across the island
to include the Cape Panwa area. Many of the best hotels and restaurants
in Phuket and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are
located here.

 By
taking a tour or Beach Safari of the northern beaches of Phuket
you will certainly be leaving the crowds behind. The north part
of the island is less developed and gets only a tiny fraction of
the visitors to Phuket. Many of those waiting to be loaded like
cattle on to a boat and shipped off to Phi-Phi Island or one of
the other tourist Islands seeking a remote island experience would
be well advised to keep their feet dry, and drive for an hour to
the north end of Phuket. Miles of unspoiled beaches, and good food
await you. The rugged beauty of the northern beaches can only be
enhanced by the feeling of having them all to yourself.
As
you travel north you will encounter beaches dominated with casuarina
pine trees rather than palm trees. These unusual trees are like
a natural beach umbrella and offer cool shade from the blistering
tropical sun, and a if you listen carefully they make slight singing
sound as they sway to the call of the offshore breezes. Expect a
quiet enchanting experience if you break away from the herd and
visit the north end of the island.
