Freedom Beach in Phuket is a small beach in a private cove like those that are usually taken by luxury resorts as their own private beach when they build, but maybe building on the steep hills behind the beach is too much effort so it remains a little slice of paradise for now.

Located on Phuket’s west coast, only a few minutes away from Patong, this 300 meter long stretch of beach is the height of luxury with it’s fine white sands and crystal clear waters. Set within the Patong Bay this magnificent piece of paradise is surrounded by thick, lush jungle and enclave by glistening granite boulders separated in the middle by the long tail boat landing area. Freedom Beach gets its “exclusivity” from the fact that there are only two ways to get there.

One is by long tail boat that you catch at the southern end of Patong beach on the jetty, although they only operate mainly during high season and they do charge a rather high price of 1,100 – 1,500 baht per trip (low season THB 500 each way). The other way to reach Freedom Beach requires a sometimes-dangerous hike (450 meters; 492 yd.) through the forest and then a climb down a steep hill that is sometimes slippery.

There is also a 200 THB entrance fee to Freedom Beach. For those who wish to do more than just sunbathe, there are a few activities on Freedom Beach such as volleyball, soccer and snorkeling. The calm shallow waters are home to a wonderful array of crustaceans and local fish as well as brightly colored corals and sea flora. There are no jet skis or other loud aquatic vessels so it’s safe to swim and quiet for those who are relaxing. So if you want to leave the heavy loud crowds behind and enjoy a peaceful and quiet day in the tranquil nature of Phuket, Freedom Beach is definitely the beach for you!
