Pansea Beach is found just north of the beautiful and extremely popular Surin Beach, on Phuket’s west coast. Almost 400m long, it is one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket. Like a true tropical cliché, it is fringed by coconut trees and other exotic trees and plants, lapped by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, offers top-notch snorkelling opportunities at both ends, and becomes a stunning sundowner spot most evenings.

Pansea is separated from Surin by a small rocky cape on which a steep man-made path used to give access to the beach. The path was unfortunately closed off with a fence in 2014, making it almost impassable.
