NAI HARN BEACH IN SOUTHERN PHUKET
 
Along the rocky shores of the southern-most tip of Phuket Island, Nai Harn is another of Phuket's great beaches. Seriously lacking in shade, the beach is a favourite among sunbakers -- without an umbrella you will burn to a crisp here. The water is calm and very clear, with some ok snorkelling off the southern headland. In wet season though the waters can be pretty rough. Most of the accommodation along here is upmarket hotels, though there are budget spots on hideaway Yu Nui beach to the south, and Ao Sane to the north (via the yacht club) has one good budget choice and a mid-range option. Compared to Nai Harn, Ao Sane feels like a different world -- enroute the grassy hills along the shore slope sharply downwards to the secluded, rocky beaches, and the winding road crosses several wooden bridges over streams running into the ocean. It's a great little hideaway. The main reason Nai Harn is so undeveloped is thanks to the Samnak Song Nai Harn monastery which occupies most of the land off the centre and southern stretch of the beach. It's a shame more of Phuket's beaches didn't have temples like this to keep the developers at bay.
