Layan Beach
One Of The Quietest And Most Beautiful Beaches In PhuketLayan Beach is beautiful and not well known, with its white sand and crystal clear waters, located in a shallow bay at the far northern end of Bang Tao Beach on the west coast of Phuket. The mouth of a small river seperates Layan from Bang Tao Beach. Just off shore is a small Island called Katha, which shelters the beach from the waves during the rainy season.
Looking onto Layan Beach at low tide from the Bundarika ResortOn low tide you can walk to the island and watch the fishermen while soaking up the local culture. Even on high tide you are able wade across to the little Island.
The water here is very shallow and calm, ideal for small children to play and explore. We found it to shallow to go swimming.
