Surin Beach Video

Surin Beach

Surin Beach is a short, scenic beach on Phuket’s west coast, just north of Kamala. The beach is about 700 metres long, framed by rocky headlands on both sides and backed by a line of tall casuarina trees that provide natural shade.

Surin used to be known for its beach clubs and a lively daytime scene, but most of those were removed several years ago when authorities cleared the beachfront. Today, it is a much quieter beach. There are no sunbeds for rent, and the sand is mostly open. A few restaurants operate on the road above the beach, but the seafront itself is kept clean and natural.

The water at Surin is clear and inviting during the high season, though the waves can get strong during the monsoon months. The beach drops off quite steeply, so it is better suited for confident swimmers. The area around Surin is upscale, with several luxury villas and high-end resorts nearby.

Surin is a good choice if you prefer a natural beach without vendors or crowds. For the full guide, see Surin Beach.

After travelling through 40+ countries and working with Club Med and Expedia, where I created the Hotels.com Go Guides international travel guide with my team, I launched Phuket 101 in 2011 to share what I've explored, discovered and learned.
