About Yanui Beach
Yanui Beach is a sheltered shore site on Phuket's southern tip where a small reef sits close to the sand and the water deepens quickly enough for short, easy dives. It is especially useful for relaxed snorkeling and beginner scuba, with the reef, rocky patches, and central coral feature holding most of the marine life while the cove stays manageable in calm weather.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
The beach is small and can feel crowded at peak times, and conditions can worsen quickly once you leave the sheltered cove.
Access Restrictions
The useful reef sits inside the sheltered cove; conditions outside it can become rough when wind or swell rises.
