If you want to go to the beach, choose one! On the way to freshwater town, there are quaint shops and cafes nearby, get to the beach, park nearby and enjoy the fantastic country atmosphere. The beach is safe, clean and controlled by lifeguards every day, but lets you explore. Good for beginners to intermediates as well as professionals, so a great place to learn to surf or Phuket surfboards. The beach is shallow for a long time, so it is safe for kids to swim and enjoy open waters. We were as depressed as possible during our stay, preferably early in the morning to start the day with an uplifting atmosphere!
