South of Kata Noi and north of Phrom Thep cape, Nai Han 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 Phrom Thep cape to observe sunsets which are often fiery and spectacular.

The few available accommodations range from the sumptuous and extremely expensive on the western end of the lagoon, to more modest places, most of which are a little remote from the beach itself.
