Hidden under a cape covered with real jungle, there is a small beach with a length of about 170 meters - Hua Beach.
It is a very nice place with beautiful nature, for a quiet, peaceful vacation, away from the large number of tourists. A large amount of greenery creates a nice, natural shade, in which it is very cozy to rest, but despite this, you can use the service of renting umbrellas and sun beds.
The fauna of the beach is rich and varied. There is a large number of different trees, there are palm trees.
The water in the sea is very clear and clean. The sand is hard, yellow-gray in color. Entrance to the water is very inconvenient. This beach is not very suitable for swimming, although, closer to the southern part, there is a special underwater path between the reefs, where the boat passes - there you can swim!

I recommend Tree Tops...
Read moreNeat beach, but the prices of the food sold at the small beach-restaurant are presumingly high (3 to 4 times as much as at comparable locations in Phuket) and the host/waitress was not very friendly despite we, on the contrary, were very polite. A very small (and unfortunately not very tasty) dish with rice and about 20g of small chicken-snippets was 120 Baht. A small (but tasty) fish with sweet-sour sauce and a bit of pineapple and tomatoes was 350 Baht! The prices are not written down in the menu. We ate the rice dish at a comparable location for 35 Baht two days before and that was a lot tastier though. Visit the beach, it is nice and cute. But do not support...
