Palai Beach like other southern beaches in Phuket is not the most preferred place for sunbathing and snorkeling activities. However, the beach gets thousands of tourists every year. Visitors come here to have a unique Thai experience by tasting its great seafood.
Since the main attraction to this beach is the seafood, don't be surprised to find quite a numerous number of restaurants. The restaurants serve a variety of seafood to make sure you have the best experience here.
Palai Beach is not the most favorite one since it is comprised of sand and shingle with a muddy seabed. However, the seafood here balances everything and it's the best.
Once you visit the seafood restaurants, you will see tanks and aquariums full of marine life. Some of the things to see here are a variety of crabs, lobsters, and fish. While dining at the seafood restaurants, kindly take a beachside table and you will have the best views of the beach and the sunset too.
Apart from the hearty and fresh kinds of seafood, Palai Beach has great views of its stretches. Chalong Bay, Koh Lon Island, and Panwa viewpoint are some of the intriguing views from a distance at Palai Beach.
If you are adventurous enough and walk along the east end of the beach, you will come across the mouth of a small river. Here, there are a few shellfish farms floating in the bay.
In order to protect the coastline during high seas, a sea wall was built. It has a great beachside walk away from a very great place to do some walking as you enjoy the amazing views over Chalong Bay. The beach is also a fun place to explore as it acts as the mooring place for many fishing boats.
