Although this beach is dominated by the Laguna Phuket integrated resort development which comprises five luxury hotels - including The Banyan Tree Phuket and Sheraton Grande Laguna - it is possible to find a quiet corner to swim. A very nice beach where you can relax from all the noise and people you normally find at the more popular beaches. Here you can also rent jet-skies and other water sporting equipment.
On December 26, 2004, Phuket and other nearby areas on Thailand's western coast suffered extensive damage when they were struck by the Boxing Day tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
