Attractions
(Bay)
Chalong Bay
Phuket's principal boat anchorage and the island's
largest bay. Ao Chalong has a long flat, shallow,
muddy bottom; at ebbtide, waters recede as much
as one kilometer.
It is very picturesque but not for swimming. Most
visitors to the islands south of Phuket depart
from Chalong pier, and the bay's restaurants are
well known for their seafood. Charters to various
places can be arranged from there, and it is the
center of the island's yachting businesses.
To get there take Jao Fah Tawan Tok Rd., or Jao
Fah Tawan Okk Rd., to Chalong Circle. The pier
and a number of restaurants are located on the
short road leading to the beach from the circle.
Sehn Bay
A small bay with many rocks and corals. Snorkeling
and diving are possible. For sunbathers, this
secluded, curving strand north of Nai Han offers
some privacy.
A small open air restaurant supplies food and
drink. To get there go through the parking lot
of the Phuket Yacht Club hotel and follow the
road to Ao Sehn, about 1/2 km.
