Nai Harn Beach (Nai Harn, Nai Han) is located almost in the very south of Phuket in a beautiful cozy bay (Naiharn on the map).

This is not a typical Phuket beach and tourist area, as there is no tourist area as such. There are only a few hotels on and near the beach (actually, there is only one with access to the beach), there is no infrastructure. And although there are excellent conditions for a beach holiday, this place remains poorly developed as a tourist destination, which is due to the Nai Harn Temple, which owns the land here. The main guests of the beach are visitors from other areas Phuket, including locals who come here for the weekend.

In addition to a couple of hotels, there is a cafe area near the beach, food and souvenir vendors walk along the beach, there are several souvenir shops. But even for the simplest purchases you will have to go a couple of kilometers to the nearest village. Well, there is no currency exchange, banks, travel agencies, motorcycle rentals here, and for all this you will have to go to the nearest developed beaches Kata or karon. Motorcycle rental can be found in the neighboring village.

Naiharn beach itself is small, does not even reach a kilometer. At the edges it is bounded by picturesque green hills, and a small island in the water area completes the picture. It is never empty, but still it is much more deserted than the nearest popular beach and Kata area. There are no crowds of package tourists here, and they get here only by their own transport. There are very few tourists who stay here in one of the hotels.

There are a number of sun loungers and umbrellas for rent all along the beach, but there are practically no water activities. The sand is fine, clean, yellow, the water is very clean. Tides practically do not appear. The depth is normal and great for lovers of swimming, it is only necessary to overcome the powerful foamy waves that form at the very edge of the water. But they are not suitable for surfing at all, because they are formed too close. There are rocks on the edges of the beach, next to which you can do simple snorkeling. Most of the beach is not suitable for bathing small children, but in the eastern part there is a shallow bay where the waves do not reach at all, and this is just the perfect place to relax with kids.

Get to Nai Harn Beach is possible only by taxi or rented transport, there is ample free parking.

Hotels directly on the beach of Nai Harn only a few, and they are expensive. A little further from the beach inland, you can find several inexpensive hotels and guest houses. One kilometer east of Naiharn on the shore there is a small Ao Sane beach with separate bungalows from 600 baht (see currency of Thailand).

Summing up about Nai Harn. This is an isolated, beautiful and deserted beach in the south of the island with excellent conditions for swimming, relaxing with small children, and even for simple snorkeling. This beach doesn't look like a tourist area at all, and apart from a few hotels and restaurants there is nothing here.
