What to Do in Ao Sane? ✓
UPDATE: Ao Sane Beach is temporarily closed for construction
Ao Sane Beach (pronounced Ao Sain) proves that Phuket still has some little beaches hidden from view where you can pretend nothing has changed in the past twenty years. Of course, there is no such thing as a ‘secret beach‘ anymore, but you must make a little effort to get there. Ao Sane is clearly visible from Nai Harn Beach, but you will not find out unless you know that you need to drive through The Nai Harn Resort. Just keep in mind that parking a car down there can be challenging.

Ao Sane consists of three tiny sandy bays, and you can walk from one to another through the few beach bungalows. These might be small, tiny, sandy coves, but it is a good feeling to step on one.
