Laem Sing Beach
Is
20 minutes north of Patong, and is the first stop on our beach safari. The beach
is not visible from the road but the small parking area is located about half
way up the grade at the north end of Kamala Beach look for the small handmade
signs. This is one of the undeveloped beaches frequently missed by visitors who
are unaware of its location. Its a five minute walk down a fairly steep path to
reach this remote little beach. The natural beauty of this beach is enhanced by
the fact it sits well below the highway which lends a serene and quiet feeling
that is not always present on other beaches in Phuket. The interesting rock formations
along Laem Sing Beach offer some the best snorkeling opportunities on the island.
Noted during recent visits was an increase in the number of beach venders and
the occasional sighting of jetski activity, but it is still a pleasant little
beach get-a-way well worth going out of the way for.
Some
recent reports coming back suggest that many readers stopping here on the first
leg of there beach safari are being taken in by the quiet charms of this hidden
bay and are spending the whole day here. ( Click here to see large photos of Laem
