Nai Harn Beach

Nai Harn Beach - Phuket, located right at the southern end of Phuket, Nai Harn is one of the island's most beautiful locations. A popular swimming beach and yacht anchorage during the high season. This quiet and tranquil place has only a few hotels including the Le Royal Meridien Phuket Yacht Club. It's not a place to hire a jet ski or expect a lot of action. Just yachts moored in the bay, vendors selling ice cream and drinks and a fine sandy beach. Great for swimming from November to April, however care should be take in the low season (May-October) when there are strong undertows. Cafes and bars on the beach serve excellent food for reasonable prices.

Away from the beach Nai Harn village has lots of small restaurants and local bars. Notably Mimmi's, located on the road from Nai Harn to Kata with a lovely ambiance, chaise longues and good western food, Banana Corner - excellent value for money and Don's Restaurant, famous for Texas style spare ribs.

Nai Harn is just north of Phrom Thep Cape. Continue north, along the coast, is Nui Beach, small, secluded and difficult to access. Further along is Ya Nui, a sandy cove that attracts snorkellers and divers. Another out-of-the way spot nearby is the tiny beach of Ao Sane, a great spot for snorkelling, reached by taking the dirt road that starts at Le Royal Meridien's car park. Kata Beach, where you'll find a more lively nightlife, is about 20 minutes away, while Patong Beach is about a 30-minute drive. Regular bus service to and from Phuket town during daytime.

Compared with most "dive centers" in Thailand (a lot of them is just a website - a "Virtual Dive Company") - Scuba Cat owns their own fleet of diving boats and have been in operation since 1994. If you do a Course or a Dive Career Package with us, all your dives will be from one of our own dive boats, not "we got to do a beach dive, 'cause it is not enough students" or from a "last minute rented long tail boat, 'cause all the other boats are full".
