Beach description
The beach itself can be clearly seen directly from the motorway; as a reference point, you can rely on a long pier (about 200 meters), going from the sandy coast of Nakalai and drowning in the oncoming waves. Ease of access to the beach, it would seem, should make it very popular, but not everything is so easy.
The entire territory at the beach is occupied by the resort village of Thavorn Beach Village, respectively, and the beach itself is a kind of personal space of people vacationing there..
Entering the water, depth and waves
The sand on Nakalai, although fine, flour, contains a large amount of pebbles. The long coastal line is barely hidden behind sea water, so to swim it will take a long time to enter the water, indirectly, this is indicated by the length of the above-mentioned pier..
Sun beds and shade
The sun loungers are provided by the adjacent resort, and there is plenty of shade from the greenery that densely grows along the coast. In case anyone is interested in reading about other places, I have a short overview of all the beaches of Phuket, will help you decide on the choice of the beach.

Infrastructure
Tourist entertainment is concentrated in hotel areas. To do this, there is everything you need: a wide variety of pools, playgrounds, bars, cafes, massage parlors, yoga classes, Thai boxing lessons, restaurants with ancient decorative finishes and even a whole tropical garden, that is, you will not be bored on Nakalai Beach.
Most of the guests of the village just walk along the beach, admiring the playful water, sun and trees. The pier offers a wonderful view of the sea backwater, and the abundance of bizarre trees right by the water obliges you to take imperishable photographs. If you still want water activities, then in addition to swimming (during high tides), you can go snorkeling there..
Houses and hotels on the beach
In addition to Thavorn Beach Village itself, there are several other hotels near the beach. On the north side of Nakalai Beach, but behind the cape, there is a five-star hotel of interesting modern architecture - The Naka Phuket. All hotels in the vicinity of Nakalai Beach are located on the high slopes of the hill. Their windows usually offer a good view of the mountains and the sea..
In the southern part of the beach, or rather, above it, there is another hotel with modern architecture, the four-star Absolute Nakalay. Near the road, you can find simpler hotels: Naka Resort, Nicha Residence, romantic Grand Bleu Ocean View Pool Suite .

How to find the beach
Use our map and navigator. You probably won't be able to officially get to Nakalai without being a guest of the village, but the beach is not worth it - the beach is not very good, by itself. The resort beach village belongs to a class hotel - 5 stars, which is not even bad.
Rooms in it cost from 2,400 baht, there are often promotions and discounts. However, outside the hotel territory for 2014 there is a small dump, it is not visible to guests, you need to enter from the other side. Perhaps this is a temporary phenomenon related to construction..
