    Wonderful beach! This is the best one until now! Clear water, beautiful view! We took the path from the south of surin beach…15 minutes by walking. It’s not a difficult path if you are in good health and it is really worth the view! We personally decided to put on shoes for walking. A lot of people went by flip flop or also barefoot but for me…life is a gift…why take a risk if it’s not necessary? Near the beach there is a restaurant….the food is really good and the people that work there are really nice! Today there was an old lady preparing juices and smoothies…she was so cute! And her mango juice was the best I had on this holiday! There are umbrellas and beach loungers…100bath for loungers. Things I didn’t like: 1) today some guys arrived and put on loud music all day….if you want to listen to music take your earbuds with you 2) some guys used and destroyed an umbrella and they didn’t pay anything for the damage 3) tourists drinking and leaving their garbage there The problem obviously is not the beach…it is the human being….do a favour to everyone…if you go somewhere to have a holiday, learn how to behave beforehand.

    Incredible. Highly recommend, it’s accessible through boat (I don’t know about other beaches, but one is at Surin beach) or through a trail to the very left of Surin beach when facing the ocean. It’s nice, quiet, the trail is AMAZING. It’s picturesque. You pass a little cute cafe overlooking the bay before arriving at the beach. There’s not many people and some lounge chairs available for rent. Amazing for snorkeling. Jungle paradise.

    Visited this beach twice during my stay in Thailand. It’s not a challenging walk from Surin beach if you are in relatively good shape. The hardest part is the beginning of the walk, which requires you to climb over some rocks. Also keep in mind that the tide can change and the rocks may be underwater when you head back (which was the case for us on one of our excursions. Still manageable, but the rocks are a bit more slippery if you don’t have good footing or waterproof shoes). Takes about 15 minutes to get to Haad Laem Sing, but once you arrive, you have a more secluded beach with great views. Some good pockets for snorkelling. There is one restaurant that services the beach and there are a few beach chairs/umbrellas to rent for a low price. There is also a boat that will take you from Surin beach to Haad Laem Sing, or vice versa, for a fee. It’s a small boat, so there may be a short wait to get back to Surin beach towards the end of the day. The beach is expansive, you can easily find a spot away from others and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. A nice escape from some of the busier beaches in Phuket.
