Mai Khao Beach, Phuket

(300+ reviews on the web)
Beach Nature / Park
Get in a little beach time all to yourself at Mai Khao Beach, an 11 km (7 mi) stretch of soft golden sand that is deserted more often than not. Still relatively undeveloped and part of a national park, the beach remains something of a hidden gem. The peaceful atmosphere here is refreshingly lacking in pushy vendors and powerboats. Be wary when swimming, however, as there is a drop off into the sea a short distance from the shore. The waves are strong and powerful, so only strong adult swimmers should venture into the waters. Put Mai Khao Beach on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Mai Khao trip itinerary maker.
