About Nai Harn Beach
Nai Harn Beach is a sandy beach on the southwest coast of Phuket Island in Rawai Subdistrict, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket Province, Thailand. Set in a sheltered bay backed by forested hills and Nai Harn Lake, it is known for its soft white sand, clear water and relatively quiet, less commercial atmosphere. The beach is popular for swimming during the dry season, sunbathing, and sunset views near Promthep Cape.
