Review & FAQ:
Situated on the northwest coast of Phuket, Mai-Khao Beach a six-mile-long straight beach that is part of the Sirinat National Park. Quiet and relatively deserted, the beach is strict nature protection, and the few hotel resorts located near the beach such as the JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Phuket International Airport have to comply with regulations, such as no beach chairs, motor boats or jet skis in the area. Mai Khao Beach is the only beach on Phuket where turtles still come to lay their eggs, and volunteers from a nearby turtle sanctuary collect many of the eggs so that the baby turtles can hatch in a sheltered environment. Hotel guests and other beach visitors can take on sponsorship and accompany the little ones to the sea by hand. Swimming-wise, there is a sharp drop off into the Andaman Sea a short distance from shore, making swimming dangerous from May to November.
