Beaches of the south of Phuket
Rawai Beach
Rawai beach is rather narrow and silted. It is therefore not suitable for swimming, but instead it offers a magnificent view of the islands of Bon Island, Coral Island and Lone Island.
The many Long Tails and Speed Boats lined up to offer you to discover the islands enhance undeniably the beauty of the site. It also gets its charm to the many small restaurants that border the beach and it feels good to walk or get some fresh air in the shade of casuarinas...
