Laem Sing and Surin Beach Anchorage

7° 58.5′ N · 98° 16.6′ E

A beautiful cove between two rocky headlands at Laem Sing, with Surin Beach around the corner to the north. Surin is a heritage beach and zoned public park; its sunbeds are gone, which makes it worth a visit.

Practical

Laem Sing: 3-12 m on sand. Surin: 5-8 m off the beach, outside any swim lines (SEAP). The 300 m path down from the road to Laem Sing has been closed by land investors, so access is by boat or a long scramble around the headland. Phuket 101 says the southern headland has excellent snorkelling among underwater boulders. Pop-up restaurants at Surin come and go with enforcement.
