Everywhere
on Phuket Island is beautiful but the south part of the island is straight
out of a tropical daydream. The southern coastline is blessed with magnificent
mountains covered with lush jungle forest that stretch out to meet the
azure blue sea and are framed with white powder sandy beaches and fringed
with coral reefs. When you see a photograph of Phuket, it is likely to
have been taken in the south part of the island. The southern beaches
offer superb vistas and some of the most glorious sunsets in the world.
The South Coast Area covers the part of the island that lies south of
Relax Bay on the west and then across the island to include the Cape Panwa
area. Many of the best hotels and restaurants in Phuket and some of the
most beautiful beaches in the world are located here.
By taking
a tour or Beach Safari of the northern beaches of Phuket you will certainly
be leaving the crowds behind. The north part of the island is less developed
and gets only a tiny fraction of the visitors to Phuket. Many of those
waiting to be loaded like cattle on to a boat and shipped off to Phi-Phi
Island or one of the other tourist Islands seeking a remote island experience
would be well advised to keep their feet dry, and drive for an hour to
the north end of Phuket. Miles of unspoiled beaches, and good food await
you. The rugged beauty of the northern beaches can only be enhanced by
the feeling of having them all to yourself.
As you travel north you will encounter beaches dominated with casuarina pine trees rather than palm trees. These unusual trees are like a natural beach umbrella and offer cool shade from the blistering tropical sun, and a if you listen carefully they make slight singing sound as they sway to the call of the offshore breezes. Expect a quiet enchanting experience if you break away from the herd and visit the north end of the island. |
