Located on Phuket’s northeast side on a parallel with west coast beach, Bang Tao. Cape Yamu Beach is found to the northeast of Phuket City, just north from Coconut Island. The beach is found on the north side of the Cape Yamu peninsula. There are a number of luxury villas in this area, and it is generally quiet and less travelled. Beaches are not the best, with muddy water, muddy bottom, and dirt mixed with sand on the shore.

Cape Yamu is not a primary destination for vacationers, so in that respect, it’s nice and chill. This is a nice little spot to go on Phuket’s east side to see the water and some islands.

Beach Restaurants / Bars Cape Yamu Beach
  • Taste Yamu

    Taste Yamu – On the South side of the Yamu peninsula is a beautifully decorated restaurant that gets very high ratings for the taste of the meals and great service. The restaurant overlooks the water and the breeze blows through easily as there are no walls in the front of the restaurant. A Swedish chef makes local and European favorites. In the past, it was named “Breeze.” The chef and menu have changed and this venue needs more reviews. Someone remarked in a review that the Happy Hour was a discount of 10 THB. Not sure if that’s true but we wanted to let you know in case that’s all it is.

    While there are a couple of other restaurants on the cape, there are few reviews for the other restaurants and we feel better recommending this one. We’d rather not send you to a place that could be a bad experience.
