Located in a small cove just south of Patong Beach on the west coast of Phuket.

Beach Activities

The beach is cordoned off into sections, the middle of the beach is were the longtail boats come ashore to drop visitors off and to pick them up.

The southern end of the beach is one of the best locations in Phuket for snorkeling, here you will find lots of spectacular coloured fish swimming close to the beach.

You will also see coral in the shallow water, it's no wonder a lot was destroyed during the tsunami.

When we visited this beautiful beach the coral close to the shore was only small, but as we went into deeper water the coral looked fantastic.

We found the northern end of the beach was the best area of the beach to go swimming.

There are no motorised water-activities on this beach, it is a beach where you can go and completely unwind.

Jet skis are not welcome here and you won't be bothered by beach vendors trying to sell their goods.

There are sunbeds under the shade of the palm trees that you can hire for around 120 baht.

Freedom beach, Phuket

We recommend this beach as an ideal beach location were the whole family can enjoy a fun day on the beach swimming and snorkeling. You will also find a beach volleyball net and a set of football goals.

Restaurants

A small restaurant is located at the southern end of the beach, the restaurant is a little expensive but nice. Or alternatively you bring could bring your own lunch and drinks.

Amenities

Showers and toilets are available on Freedom Beach.

This is definitely one of the cleanest beaches we have visited in Phuket.

Accommodation

There is no accommodation available on this beautiful beach. Although there is the 5 Star Le Meridien Phuket Resort that is located to the south. Or the Merlin Beach Resort to the North, which is located closer to Patong.

How To Get There

The only way to gain access to this remote beach is by longtail boat....

There is a track to the beach but the land is privately owned.

You can hire a longtail boat from the southern end of Patong, just near the pier. Depending on the number of people expect to pay around 1,000 to 1,500 baht for the boat for the day.

The longtail boat ride will take around 15 minutes, your journey will take you past a couple of other beautiful beaches such as Tri Tra Beach, Paradise Beach and Tri Trang Beach. You can also hire longtail boats from Tri Trang Beach costing around 500 baht.
