13 miles from Patong Bay
In the north, Naithon Beach is the largest of the three beaches on the headland. It offers good holding in the centre of the bay in 6-10 metres on a sandy bottom.
You’ll find good snorkelling on either point. Ashore, you’ll find a beach road that leads to the airport and some new resorts. The older Andaman White Sands Resort is in the small bay one mile south.
