Layan Beach: what to do and where to stay
By Paula Parker
Tranquility at Layan Beach in Phuket
Layan Beach is one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches in Phuket.
Layan is not that well known, which is a bonus for those looking for a relaxing break away.
The beach itself has white sand
and crystal clear waters and is located in a shallow bay at the far northern
end of Bang Tao Beach on the west coast of Phuket.
The mouth of a small river separates Layan from Bang Tao Beach.
Just off shore is a small Island called Kala Island, which shelters the beach from the waves during the rainy season.
On low tide you can walk to Kala Island and watch the fishermen while soaking up the local culture and the beautiful views.
Even on high tide you are able wade across
to this little Island.
The water here is very shallow and calm, ideal for small children to play and explore. We found it too shallow to
go swimming.
