Rawai Beach

Rawai Beach is located on the South East tip of Phuket and was the Islands first known tourist beach, it is now a launching point for day trips to the surrounding Islands.

Many longtail boats line the shore and are available for hire so you can explore the nearby Coral Island, Koh Lone or Racha Islands or you may wish to charter a fishing or snorkel trip. The beach is also used as a mooring point for the many fisherman who live and work in the area.

A visit to this peaceful beach is a must with great views and some wonderful seafood restaurants. The beach is not good for swimming due to the many boats that are moored here; there are no sunbeds, jet skis or banana boats for rent. At the eastern end of the beach you will find a sea gypsy village with a small fish market and local handicrafts.
