As a rule, I always use Google Map to find something on the map. But sometimes you have to resort to ordinary maps, some of which help you quickly find out where this or that beach and area is, because there is simply no such thing on Google. In addition, the names of the streets do not coincide with the Thai ones. I suffered so much at first before I realized it.
Most often, cards are needed even before the trip, but during it it becomes possible to use paper cards, which are not difficult to get on the spot - either at the airport, or in a shopping center, or at a scooter rental point. They are usually quite detailed and include attractions, shops, markets and train stations. Alternatively, use maps in GPS, for example, for Igo 8, we did this in Bangkok, it is very easy to get lost there at first.

About Phuket beaches in general
I'll tell you briefly about the beaches of Phuket. The entire western coast is suitable for swimming, but the eastern one is not. Eastern areas of Chalong Bay and Rawai Beach good for enjoying seafood dishes, as well as for inexpensive and long-term stays. However, the shore there is dirty, busy with fishing boats and no one swims there..
The most popular beach in Phuket is Patong (Patong), many people compare it with Pattaya, as there is the most party place on the island: nightlife, clubs, bars, shopping centers, a lot of people. Therefore, if you need peace and quiet, then you definitely should not go there, I do not recommend it. For a family and relaxing vacation, or for a village Bang Tao (Bang Tao) or on Kamala. And if you need something in between, then on Kathu or Kathu noi. Alternatively, you can choose Karon, but he is not far from Patong, there are also a lot of people, although the movement is smaller.
My favourite Nai Harn beach, which is located in the south of Phuket, there are only a couple of hotels on the shore, the place is quiet and beautiful, near the lake. And if there is a bike, then from the same Rawai Beach, it takes no more than 15 minutes to get there. Perfect place!
Another, even less crowded beach Nai Yang Beach. It is located near the airport and is not very popular among tourists, because the infrastructure is not enough, and you can swim only in the central part, where it is deep.
