Description
Ya Nui Beach is a charming tiny bay tucked in a cove between the Windmill Viewpoint and the famous Promthep Cape in the very south of Phuket Island. It looks like a secret beach, but it is very well known and can be busy sometimes. Don’t expect to find a deserted secret beach such as Banana Beach, north of Phuket Island, or the hard-to-reach Nui Beach nearby.
As usual, the beach is the main reason people drive and stop here. It is tiny and easily recognisable from the unique rock formation splitting it into two bays and a large island in front of it. The water is blue-green and beautiful, except maybe in the northern part where a small stream reaches the sea, and the sand is thin and powdery.
The bay frequently shelters yachts and fishing boats and is also a beautiful beach for easy snorkelling, with clear waters and plenty of rocky areas. Snorkelling equipment is available for 100 baht. You can also rent a kayak for 100 baht per hour or a Stand Up Paddle for 300 baht per hour if you wish to explore further away.
