Tri Trang Beach

Tri Trang Beach is situated in a nice quiet bay directly in front of the four star Merlin Beach Resort. This is another of the four beautiful beaches hidden in the headland just south of Patong on the west coast of Phuket.

The Merlin Beach Resort dominates the entire southern facing beach, which many people think is a private beach for guests staying at the resort. However the resort doesn't make any attempt to stop people from entering the beach via a road on the left hand side of the resort.

Beach Activities at Tri Trang

Tri Trang is not a great swimming beach, as there are too many rocks in the shallow water. The best time to come and enjoy Tri Trang is on high tide when it is absolutely perfect, one of the best spots in Phuket for snorkeling. The water is crystal clear and there are lots of coral and colourful fish.

Guests staying at the Merlin Beach Resort often prefer to swim in the resort pools or at the close by Tri Tra Beach or Paradise Beach.

Along the left hand side of the beach is some open air massage huts, another perfect location where you can lay back and enjoy a relaxing oil or Thai massage on the beach.

Tri Trang is close to one of Phuket's best kept secret beaches, Freedom Beach. The only way you can gain access to Freedom Beach is by longtail boat, which is about a ten minute boat ride from Tri Trang costing around 300 baht.

Restaurants on the beach at Tri Trang

The Goodview Restaurant is located up the stairs on the left hand side of the beach on the hill overlooking the beach. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and is a much cheaper option for meals then eating at the restaurants in the resort. A beautiful spot for a romantic sunset dinner.

Tri Trang and the Merlin Beach Resort is a well known and popular location for romantic beach weddings in Phuket.

How to get to Tri Trang and the Merlin Beach Resort

Take the road at the Southern end of Patong across the bridge and follow this road until you get to the Merlin Beach Resort, which is on the left hand side of the road. Beside the resort is a dirt road where you can park and walk down to the beach.
