Chalong Bay Beach
Phuket, Chalong BayChalong Bay is the main boat station and the main port of Phuket. It is located 11 km from Phuket Town. Chalong is very picturesque, although this is not the best place on the island for swimming. But here you can hire a boat to go to one of the small islets that south of Phuket.
It is noteworthy that the width of the beach varies depending on the tide or ebb. It can both decrease and become larger. The tide begins after 16:00. At the same time, there are almost no beaches on the north-eastern and eastern sides of Phuket (as there are no hotels that could accommodate tourists), the bulk of the beach suitable for swimming is concentrated in the western part of the resort.
And there are such beaches where there are always people, so you can not be alone. But the inhabitants themselves do not appreciate the swarthy skin color, prefer not to sunbathe on the beaches in general, but to arrange a picnic in the shade of palms. In this very often the beaches are inaccessible in the low season, when the sea is dominated by storm winds.
Most beaches are great for snorkeling and diving. In the shade of palm trees there are cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy Thai food (if possible, put smaller peppers in the dishes). On the beach there is always a chaise longue and an umbrella. There are beaches on which night life continues - with bars and discos.
