About Ao Sane Beach
Ao Sane Beach is a small, secluded beach in Rawai, Mueang Phuket District, just northwest of Nai Harn Beach in southern Phuket. Accessed via a narrow road through The Nai Harn hotel grounds, it is known for its rocky shoreline, clear water, and snorkeling. The beach is divided into three small coves with boulders, shade from trees, and a laid-back atmosphere away from larger tourist beaches.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a compact, quiet beach with coarse sand, large granite boulders and clear water in three small coves. The setting is sheltered by forested hills and rocks, with views toward nearby islands. Facilities are limited to a beach restaurant, sun loungers, showers and toilets. The water is suitable for swimming and snorkeling over rocks and coral, with areas for sunbathing and photography. Access requires driving or walking down a steep, narrow road through The Nai Harn resort.
