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.
