Nai Yang Beach (Nai Yang, Naiyang) is located on the west coast to the north of the island almost directly to Phuket Airport in Sirinat National Park (Nai Yang on the island map). This is one of the beaches Phuket, where rest is comfortable at any time of the year.
The area of Nai Yang Beach, although it looks like a village, it can be called a full-fledged tourist area. On the one hand, the situation here is quiet, there are few tourists, there is almost no entertainment and attractions. On the other hand, there is a full set of hotels and guest houses, restaurants and cafes, small shops and a market (the market is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays), currency exchange and motorcycle rental. And if you move a little further north, towards the airport, you can even find a few minimarkets. In addition to all this, the protected nature of the national park is attached to the load, through which you can move freely.
On the beaches, entertainment using motorboats is prohibited, so you can swim in rented kayaks, dive with a mask, sunbathe in the shade of coniferous trees or sit in one of the cafes, of which there are many along the beach. You can also go for a walk in the national park, and along the shore you can even walk to the neighboring Mae Khao beach past the airport. There is a kiting school here, and this is one of the best places in Phuket to practice this sport. There is no evening entertainment here, except that you can sit in one of the restaurants right on the beach.
The beach here has a length of about three kilometers, the strip of sand is very wide. There are almost no palm trees along the shore, but there are a lot of coniferous casuarina trees. The depth is different throughout, as is the effect of tides and waves. The best place to swim is around the middle of the beach. However, in general, Nai Yang Beach is one of the few places in Phuket where there are almost no strong waves and dangerous currents, since the beach is protected by a coral reef. Most of the beach here is thoroughly cleaned, but in some places there is natural debris in the form of sticks and branches, but in general it is clean. Sun loungers and parasols are available on the beach.
Get to Nai Yang Beach from the airport you can even walk. You will have to get from the rest of the island by taxi or rented transport. You can also get to the airport by airport bus for 100 baht from The old bus station in Phuket Town, and get to the beach again on foot.
Hotels in Nai Yang not very many. There are several mid-range hotels along the beach, above $100. Budget accommodation can be found on the second line, but also directly on the beach there are several places where you can find bungalows from $ 30. Some tourists stay in tents in the camp.

Summing up about Nai-Yang. This is a great place for a relaxing beach holiday without entertainment, an ideal place for families with children. The beach here, though not the most beautiful, is very convenient for swimming and beach holidays. The infrastructure of the area is no frills, but everything you need for a holiday is here.
