This is an amazing beach and any postings regarding oil spills recently, or in the past, negatively affecting the quality of water and experience is a lie! Please, visit for yourself and see, and enjoy!

Stunning beach spoiled by oil/tar. Apparently a cargo ship dropped waste contaminated by petroleum and the blobs of oil are all over the water, beach, and anything you touch. It took hours to try and get chunks of oil out of the grooves of my shoes…any non black clothing or shoes are completely ruined. Every beach we went to yesterday had the same problem. I can’t believe we let this happen to the planet.

Lovely peaceful quiet beach.
Amazing drive here and what a lovely beach with the sea being so beautiful and peaceful here.
Not too packed lots of places to relax and some bars and places to eat just opposite the beach.
Take an umbrella as the sun can be brutal. Not too many boats here and a must visit

This is most likely the cleanest & calmest of all beaches in Phuket. This is a small beach with rocks all around and hence the waters are always calm. That makes it a great siting point for corals, fish as well as baby sharks- all in abundance and almost on the beach. It’s a great beach for snorkling. There are shops which rent snorkling gear as well as kayaks at 100 bath each and there are a couple of good cafés across the road where you can take a shower and grab a bite too. In all a great place to spend a day.

Great beach for snorkeling and relaxing. There are corals very close to the beach and there is almost no current so it never. Kayaks can be rented cheaply in case one wants to row over to the next tiny island or watch some fish a little further from the beach. Plenty of good restaurants with delicious food (especially One More Restaurant) and fair prices nearby.

Beautiful small beach. Great for snorkeling. Saw quite a lot of coral fish despite being not too far away from the shore. A peaceful beach which is not too crowded. Good place to relax.

Great beach - white sand and water calm and not too touristic. We hired kayaks and snorkel gear and went out to snorkel across the bay to a small island-lots of fish to see although the jellyfish did take the gloss of for the kids as they got stung (like a nettle sting feeling) but uncomfortable for a period of time.

a mon avis vous vous trompez de plage .. celle la est tres facile d acces et est proche de la route, celle qui pose problème en scooter c est celle a la sortie de patong , la pente en scooter est tres tres raide , a 2 sur le scooter c est impossible ...

Sorry I’m probably answering this way too late but no, Yanui is a very basic beach, not touristy so no sun beds, parasols etc. But that’s part of its charm.

Hi, may I know if there is a booth to rent snorkelling gear at Ya Nui Beach, and how much do they charge? Thank you!

Hi, at the time we were there, there was a booth to rent water sports equipment like canoes, but I do not know it they had snorkeling gear

Karon è collegatissima: partono decine di mezzi... ma se vi va potete andare in scooter senza problemi, se scaricate le mappe è molto semplice.
I bus o i tuc-tuc arrivano ovunque
