This Beach is located on the way to kamla just after laem sing. It's a rather small and not that swim friendly beach, but a nice place to relax and get away from the overcrowded beaches. It's mainly occupied by the tavorn beach resort.
Phuket was formerly referred to as "Thalang," derived from the old Malay "Telong" which means "Cape". The northern district of the province, which was the location of the old capital, still uses this name.
