Chalong Bay
Phuket's principal boat anchorage and the island's largest bay. Ao Chalong has a long flat, shallow, muddy bottom; at ebb-tide waters recede as much as one kilometre. It is picturesque but not for swimming. Most visitors take the Chalong Pier to visit the smaller islands , and the bay's restaurants are well known for their seafood. Charters to different places can be arranged from there, and it is the center of the island's yachting businesses. Ao Chalong is not only for its pier,but also the seafood restaurant along the seashore.

Sehn Bay
A small bay with many rocks and corals. Snorkeling and diving are possible. For sunbathers, this secluded, curving strand north of Nai Han offers some privacy. A small open air restaurant supplies food and drink. To get there go through the parking lot of the Phuket Yacht Club hotel and follow the road to Ao Sehn, about 1/2 km.
