District Nai Yang

Nai Yang, also known as Nayang, is located near the airport in the northwest of Phuket. It's one of those secluded spots, a bit of a hidden gem, but popular with locals and seasoned travelers who return time and time again.

The beautiful Nai Yang beach is surrounded by casuarina trees. It is very extensive, with sun loungers at the most popular points, and is ideal for relaxing under the trees and in the shade, enjoying the fresh sea air and perhaps some local food and drink.

Since most of the beach is located within the Sirinath National Park, which is a restriction from the park administration's point of view, development along the coastline is largely limited. However, there is a good selection of restaurants and bars, and the local fresh produce market is of interest to both residents and visitors.

Like many beaches in northern Phuket, it can be quite quiet during the low season, but some establishments remain open year-round as it is a popular kitesurfing spot.

Nai Yang Beach can be a great place for swimming, but during the low and rainy season, from May to October, the currents can be quite dangerous. There is a large coral reef about a kilometer offshore that is worth exploring.
