Jungle Beach (Ao Sane) Anchorage

7° 46.6′ N · 98° 17.8′ E

A small, secure anchorage off a fringing reef just west of Nai Harn, with a rustic beach bar and bungalows ashore and what Phuket 101 calls the best pure shore snorkelling on Phuket.

Practical

About 10 m, off the fringing reef that lies in front of the beach (SEAP). The beach is split into three tiny coves; the left side drops off quickly into deeper water with parrotfish and morays, the right is shallower and better at high tide (Phuket 101). Local restaurant and bar, Baan Krating Jungle Resort bungalows ashore; Laem Mum Kok Road links to Nai Harn.

Best for

Snorkelling and a quiet night off Nai Harn
