Saikaew Beach
Saikaew Beach or Haad Sai Kaew in Thai. This
strip of sand is really just the northern porting of Maikhao Beach
and has much the same character.
Located west of the bridges spanning the channel between Phuket
and Phang-Nga provinces.

Maikhao Beach
Many
kilometers of deserted beach characterize Maikhao Beach (Haad Mai
Khao). There is little tourist business. The water is fine for swimming
during the dry season; the rainy season brings big waves and strong
currents that are dangerous. This lonely beach is another where
sea turtles come to lay eggs. It is also home to what the Thais
call a sea cicada, which is a form of marine life.
To get there, go to northern tip of Phuket; the beach lies along
the road's length.
