Maikhao
Beach
(40 km from town)
Many
kilometers of deserted beach characterize Mai Khao where there is little tourist business.
The water is fine for swimming during the dry season; the rainy season brings big waves
and strong currents that are dangerous. This lonely beach is another area where sea
turtles come to lay eggs. It is also home to what the Thais call a sea cicada, which is a
form of marine life.
How to
get there: Go to the northern tip of Phuket; the beach lies along the road's length.
