Khao Khad Beach
Khao Khad Beach is not very sexy at low tide.
Like most beaches on the east coast of Phuket, Khao Khad Beach is not very sexy at low tide because of the lack of water and a rocky sea-bed. At high tide, the beach is prettier, and you can better enjoy the view of sailboats in Chalong Bay. However, even at high tide, the beach is not suitable for a swim, partly because of the rocks and partly because the beach only slopes very gently into the water; you have to go far into the water to even get wet knees.
There are several hotels along the beach, for instance By The Sea Hotel Panwa Beach, Korsiri Villas og Panwa Boutique Beach Resort.
GPS to the south end of Khao Khad Beach, where a small road leads down to the beach: 7.811487, 98.386484. In addition, you have access to the beach from the hotels along the beach.
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.
