One of the best beaches in Phuket in my opinion. Clean water, shady groves, markets where you can eat tasty and cheap, many cafes and massage parlors. In short, this winter our priority was to rest on this particular beach. It was too crowded and dirty in Surin, and there were huge waves on Layan on a stormy day. At the same time, the waves on Knighton are an order of magnitude smaller. Knighton Beach is a wonderful place for a beach holiday
The beach is wonderful!
It is considered one of the best in Phuket.
We came to Phuket in the first half of February 2025. We lived in a nearby hotel. The weather was beautiful. The sea is quiet.
You can snorkel - beautiful local fish swim to the shore.
The beach is clean. It's not very big - about one and a half kilometers in length. It is bordered on both sides by picturesque rocky headlands.
Lots of trees, you can hide from the sun in the shade.
There is a market nearby where you can buy fruits and pancakes.
There are many cafes/restaurants.
After bathing, you can rinse with fresh water - there are homemade showers.
There are no changing booths.
Nice beach. The purest warm water. It's much cleaner and better than in Nayang. The sand is perfect. There is no garbage. There aren't many people. You can see many different beautiful fish in the water. Palm trees. Large colorful rocks at the end of the beach for photos and videos. Lots of cafes. Shop. Currency exchange offices. Nayang Market is 8 minutes away by taxi. The disadvantage is that there are waves in May. There is no way to swim in peace.
