Naiharn Beach
(18 km from town)
South
of Kata Noi and north of Promthep Cape, Naiharn is not Phuket's longest beach, but it
borders the most gorgeous lagoon on the island. The middle of the beach is dominated by
the Samnak Song Nai Han monastery, which has obstructed excessive development and is the
reason that the beach is generally less crowded than other spots on the southern part of
the island.
A wide variety of water sports can be enjoyed, but swimmers should be alert for the red
flag which warns of dangerous currents during the monsoon season from May to October. One
can walk to nearby Promthep Cape to observe sunsets, which are often fiery and
spectacular.
