Banana Beach

Phuket, Thailand

A tiny slice of paradise hidden between rocky headlands, accessible only by longtail boat or kayak from nearby beaches.

About this place

This 150-meter stretch of golden sand is one of Phuket's best-kept secrets, offering complete tranquility and excellent snorkeling around the rocky edges. Most visitors access it via longtail boat from Kata or Nai Harn beaches (200-300 baht), though adventurous souls can kayak there. There are no facilities whatsoever, so bring everything you need including water, snacks, and reef-safe sunscreen.
