More on Ao Yon Beach
Ao Yon Beach is located just six kilometers from the capital of the region, Phuket City. It is perfect for a day off, away from the noise and mess of the city. If this is the kind of place that are you looking for, well, you are in the right place. The twin beaches of Ao Yon, separated by the bay and the headland, are the perfect spot for whoever is seeking a peaceful and relaxed place to stay. Ao Yon is famous just for its shrimps farms and because on holidays and weekends, the local people go there for the barbecues. Otherwise it is almost a deserted beach in which you can plunge yourself into contemplation and nature.
From the beach, you can observe the tranquil boats floating on the sea, some bamboo construction where you can find a relaxing Thai massage, or you can simply lay down and enjoy the silence of Ao Yon. If you feel more adventurous, you can walk up the hill where you will find a waterfall, which ends on the sea, cooling down the water, a panoramic viewpoint and then reach again the central part of the beach to enjoy a traditional meal.
