Phuket has many beaches but Paradise Beach is a real small heaven and is located only 5 kilometers away, when taking the beach road down to South Patong. As soon as you have crossed the bridge and the hill, keep on driving on this winding road, you will then find the beach..
Lined with palm trees, the beach is about 60 meters long and is a shelter away from Patong’s crowds, where you can find peace and quiet and serenity. Jet skis are not allowed to land on the beach and swimming is possible all year round, that is why expatriates and residents of the island really like this beach.
The only restaurant offer a wide range of choice in Thai and international meals, including many fresh seafood dishes with very affordable prices. The beach is clean and maintained and the only negative point is that the Tsunami seriously damaged the coral reef.
