Bang Tao is the largest beach in Phuket, stretching along the shoreline for 6 km, with widths varying from 40 to 50 meters in different parts. It is located north of all beaches except for Naithon, with which it borders, and is divided into three zones: the northern Layan Beach, the central Laguna Beach, and the southern part, which shares the same name as the entire beach.
South of Bang Tao’s border is Surin Beach. The tourist infrastructure is located in the central and southern parts, but in the far south, you won’t find bars, jet skis, or sun loungers — this area is inhabited by locals with their fishing boats. The far north is also somewhat wild. However, the center and most of the south are perfect for family vacations.
The beach season opens at the end of October or early November and ends in the last days of April and early May. The beach area is sandy and clean, with a convenient entry into the water. Hotels in Phuket on Bang Tao Beach offer the opportunity to stay in a quiet, comfortable place right by the sea.
