A crescent shaped bay and beautiful rocky headlands at the foot of forest-fringed cliffs give Surin the title of Phuket's premier beach. With no beach front development allowed due to a public park, Surin offers a tranquil environment for users. Surin retains its natural appeal which is further enhanced by a row of stately Casuarina trees offering that true taste of tropical paradise.

Surin is a magnificent long beach, quiet and peaceful, and ideal for numerous activities. Surin's crystal clear waters are excellent for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking in the summer months. Boogie boarding and surfing are also popular activities especially during the low season when the swells are large.

Another reason for its popularity is that unlike many of the other busy beaches of Phuket, there are no jet-skis or speed boats here since Surin lacks a launch area.
