“A peaceful and private beach with clear water — ideal for relaxation and snorkeling.”

Yae Beach, sometimes referred to as Nai Yae Beach, stretches for about 220–250 meters and is surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush tropical greenery. Its secluded setting makes it one of Phuket’s hidden gems, offering calm waters and soft golden sand that reveal scenic rock formations during low tide.

The water here is particularly clear during the dry season (November–April), making it suitable for snorkeling and spotting small marine life near the rocky edges. Facilities are limited, as the area is mainly maintained by luxury resorts nearby — notably The Naka Phuket, which ensures that the beach remains clean and safe for visitors.


How to Get There
  • By car or motorbike: The beach is accessible from Patong or Kamala, about a 10–15 minute drive. The final descent to the beach is narrow and winding but offers scenic coastal views.

  • By boat: The easiest way to reach Yae Beach is by longtail boat from Patong or Kamala, which takes around 10 minutes. This option provides beautiful views of the coastline along the way.


Travel Tips
  • Ideal for couples or families who love quiet and natural surroundings.

  • Wear water shoes when entering the sea, as there are rocks near the shore.

  • Avoid visiting during the monsoon season (May–October) due to strong waves.

  • Staying at nearby resorts allows easier access and a more private experience.


Admission Fee:

  • Free entry. Some parts of the beach may be within resort property zones.

Opening Time:

  • Open all day. The best times to visit are early morning and late afternoon to enjoy cooler weather and softer light.
