Banana Beach (Banana Beach or Banana Rock Beach) in Phuket is a very tiny and little–known beach between Knighton and Bang Tao (Banana beach on the island map). A few years ago, this place was almost unknown to anyone, but today there are almost no nooks left. So it is with Banana Beach: now it is no longer a secluded place, but a popular beach for daytime recreation. There are always enough vacationers here, many boats arrive.
There is no infrastructure here, as well as hotels. There are sun beds and umbrellas for rent on the beach, there is an improvised cafe under a canopy and plastic chairs and tables right on the sand. Boats are offered for rent for a walk, but it is not clear where to sail on them.
The beach is very picturesque and cozy. Palm trees grow almost at the water's edge along the crescent-shaped strip of sand, and at high tide the water even reaches the trunks. Rare stone boulders here fit perfectly into the picture. The sand is fine as flour and very pleasant, almost white. The bottom is sandy, occasionally there are stones. The bottom slope is normal, perfect for swimming and safe for children. The water is clear, and there is something to see in it with a mask.
Getting to Banana Beach is not difficult. The entrance to the beach from the paved road No. 4018 along the coast is easily recognized by parked cars and motorbikes in this place. Another landmark nearby is the Tri Sara Resort Hotel. From this entrance, which is indicated only by a simple wooden signpost, a path leads down to the beach through the jungle with a length of about 100 meters, it is easy to go down it.
