Water shoes for the rocks
Granite boulders sit on the beach and in the shallows, and the seabed slopes quickly; water shoes make getting in easy.

Three tiny coves among granite boulders just north of Nai Harn, reached through The Nai Harn resort: shaded, quiet and great for snorkelling from the sand.

О месте: Ao Sane Beach
Ao Sane is a small beach on Phuket's south-west coast, clearly visible from Nai Harn but easy to miss: you reach it by driving through The Nai Harn resort and over the hill. It is made of three tiny sandy coves separated by granite boulders, and you can walk from one to the next past a few beach bungalows.
The first cove is the largest, with trees that shade the sand all day and a tiny dive shop renting snorkelling gear. There is no restaurant on the sand now, so bring water and snacks. The sand is coarse, rocks are scattered on the beach and in the water, and the seabed slopes down quickly, so it is more a place to snorkel than to paddle.
Coral and fish lie a few metres from shore, and the cove is also used for beach diving. It is calmer than the open west-coast beaches, and on calm days it may be snorkelled even in the low season.

Наша оценка: Ao Sane Beach
4.3из 5
Snorkellers and anyone looking for a quiet, shaded cove near Nai Harn.
Three tiny coves between granite boulders just north of Nai Harn, with some of south Phuket's best shore snorkelling, trees for shade all day and the calm of a place few people find. It is a rocky, coarse-sand beach with a steep slope into the sea, and getting there means a narrow road through a resort and very little parking.

Чем хорош Ao Sane Beach
Snorkelling and beach diving
Coral and fish lie a few metres from the sand; a small dive shop rents gear and offers beginner lessons.
Shade all day
Enough trees line the beach to give shelter from the sun at any time of day.
Old Phuket feeling
A handful of bungalows and granite boulders: one of the few places where little seems to have changed in twenty years.
Bring your own food
There is no restaurant on the sand now; bring water and snacks for an afternoon under the trees.
Views to Promthep
The coves look across to Promthep Cape and Ya Nui.
Перед купанием: Ao Sane Beach
Use the channel at low tide
At low tide, swim out through the channel between the rocks at the eastern end, towards Nai Harn.
Best from November to April
The water is calmest and clearest from November to April; on windy low-season days, enjoy the cove from the shade.
No lifeguard post
There is no lifeguard post at Ao Sane; snorkel with a buddy.
Steep, narrow access road
The road through the resort and down to the beach is narrow and steep; best for scooters and small cars.

Ao Sane Beach с детьми
Ao Sane suits older children who snorkel more than toddlers: the sand is coarse, rocks lie in the shallows and the seabed drops quickly. The shade and the calm are pleasant, but there are no lifeguards.
- Good for children who can snorkel.
- Rocks and a quick drop-off: not for toddlers.
- Shade under the trees all day.
- No food on the sand now: bring water and snacks.
