South of Kata Noi and north of Promthep Cape, Naiharn
is not Phuket's longest beach, but it borders the most
gorgeous lagoon on the island. The middle of the beach
is dominated by the Samnak Song Nai Han monastery, which
has obstructed excessive development and is the reason
that the beach is generally less crowded than other spots
on the southern part of the island.
A wide variety of water sports can be enjoyed, but swimmers
should be alert for the red flag which warns of dangerous
currents during the monsoon season from May to October.
One can walk to nearby Promthep Cape to observe sunsets,
which are often fiery and spectacular.
