1) Khao Lak Beach is a long sandy beach stretching over 8 km in lengths.  Is about 80 kms North of Phuket International Airport. The sandy beach, studded with smooth granite boulders, extends for many kilometers. With its tranquil and rustic atmosphere Hat Khaolak is becoming popular, especially among European visitors. It represents three mini beaches:

- Sunset Beach to the southern sector

- Nang Thong Beach the mid section

- Bang Niang Beach the northern end (includes Chong Fah beach) - The Bang Niang coastline has an array of sandy tracks leading to fairly deserted aspects of this long beach. The hotel resorts are subtly located close to each of the three beach spans and offer peace and tranquility in a natural unspoilt setting, yet with modern luxury.

2) Khuk Khak Beach

Four kilometers north of Bang Niang, lies the deserted beach of Khuk Khak, which streches some three kilometers. This is a tremendous stretch of sand with no facilities. There is however an extremely secluded small luxury resort facility tucked away nearby. Make a left turn at km 66 marker at the small village of the same name, on highway 4, then proceed a further two kilometers.

3) Bangsak Beach

Bangsak Beach (Hat Bangsak) this Tambon Bang Muang beach is a long strip of fine white sand shaded by casuarina trees. About 20 kms north of Khaolak Beach heading to Takaupa town. 

A further few kilometers north of Patwib lies the turquoise waters and fine white sand of gently curving Bang Sak beach, offset by the now familiar casuarina trees. The beach is situated 1 km off route 4, at distance marker 76km.
Hat Bang Sak has a slightly isolated Polynesian setting, and offers good southerly views. There is accomodation but it is limited and relatively basic. This area is popular with locals on picnic trips or visiting the small seafood stalls along the shoreline. The grilled fish dishes offered here have gained a reputation comparable to that at Rawai Beach in the south of Ko Phuket. Even though the beach may not fully compare with Khao Lak, it is a fun visit, maybe doing as the locals do.

4) Thai Muang Beach

Thai Muang Beach (Hat Thai Muang) is a spectacular stretch of sand, 13 kms. long with clear water and an adjacent golf course. The beach is clean and swimming is excellent. From November to February, sea turtles come to lay their eggs on the beach. As a result, local inhabitants customarily go view the turtles on moonlit nights.

5) Pakarang Beach

Also worth a visit is the quiet sandy beach of Pakarang, which is set back three kilometers from km marker 69 on highway 4. During the rainy season, a certain amount of dead coral gets washed up on the beach - hence it's name. Nearby is Laem Pakarang (Coral Cape). This is also the site of a ship wreck.

6) Pakwib Beach

This beach is just north of the Laem Pakarang headland, and runs parallel to km 70 & 71 markers on route 4.
