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.
