. The rains are accompanied by a northwest monsoon that brings strong waves to the sea - in September on the beach of Kata, surfing competitions are held . If the season of discounts and recessions of the tourist boom attracts you for a more traditional holiday, pay attention to the eastern and south-eastern part of the resort, and especially to the beaches closed from the sea, suitable for swimming all year round . For example, beaches on Cape Panwa (C ape Panwa), or Nai Yang Beach, fenced from the sea by a reef that does not miss high monsoon waves .

Nai Harn on the extreme south point of Phuket is an excellent place for bathing, and where a lagoon flows into the sea, an excellent pool for diving is formed.

On the west coast there are also beaches where it is relatively safe to swim even in low season: Layan Beach, protected by islands, including number of Kala (Kala Island). On the beach of Kata Noi, the entrance to the water is more harmless because of the shallow depth.

Also pay attention to the islands of Koh Naka, Rang Yai, Phi Phi, , Koh Yao Noi with small beaches securely hidden by rocks from sea waves.
