Phuket Beaches Experience: Nai Harn, Yanui & Promthep Cape Sunset Tour
Spend a day circling Phuket’s southern shore: Karon Viewpoint’s panoramas, soft sand at Nai Harn, the sheltered cove of Yanui with optional water activities, and a sunset finale at iconic Phromthep Cape. Practical tips on timing, snorkeling, and local culture help you plan the perfect beach day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time the viewpoint

Sun protection is essential
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses—tropical sun is intense even on cloudy days.
Water-safety check
Only snorkel or kayak when your guide confirms calm conditions; currents can shift quickly.

Local beachside vendors and Rawai seafood stalls often accept cash only—carry small bills.
