Open the appMakham Beach
East Coast Sheltered Bay · Cape Panwa, Phuket
Small 200 m bay protected on Cape Panwa, calm year-round, with no jet-skis or vendors, and fishing boats at anchor.
Makham is a sheltered bay on the east coast, about ten kilometers from Phuket Town. The water stays calm year-round but has the typical greenish tint of the east coast, and the sand is coarser than on the west. The Phuket Panwa Beachfront Resort (formerly Crowne Plaza) manages a beach bar with loungers and shade, accessible without paying for the hotel. It's a tranquil stop during a cape tour rather than a destination beach.
Our local tip
Park at the Phuket Panwa Beachfront Resort; public access is poorly marked. For clearer water, continue to Ao Yon, a few minutes south.
