Ao Sane Beach
Ao Sane Beach is a peaceful beach with snorkelling opportunities.
Ao Sane Beach is tucked away behind the five-star hotel The Nai Harn, north of Nai Harn Beach. To get to Ao Sane Beach, you have to take a small road through the hotel's area. Actually, Ao Sane Beach is not just one beach; it consists of three beaches, separated by rocks. Trails are connecting the beaches.
The Ao Sane beaches are small rocky beaches with sand and pebbles. The beaches are not good for a swim because of the rocks. However, the rocks make the beaches suitable for snorkelling at high tide. If you want a swim, head to Nai Harn Beach instead.
On the largest of the Ao Sane beaches, you can rent mattresses to lie on the beach, and you can rent sun loungers if you want to stay in the shade behind the beach. Here you will also find a small restaurant serving food and cold drinks.
GPS to Ao Sane Beach: 7.778241, 98.297697.
In addition to the aforementioned The Nai Harn hotel, you can spend the night at the more affordable Baan Krating Phuket Resort, located a little further down the road.
I have not yet written about all of the beaches; thus, there are a few inactive links on the list. Please be patient, I will get to them. The list is in geographical order, starting at the north side of Phuket, then down the west side and finally up the east side.
