Hidden Coves and Beaches on Phuket:
Laem Singh Beach between Kamala and Surin Beaches

Unless you are driving around Phuket a bit, you'll not be aware of Laem Singh Beach (Lion Point, or Cape Lion is the literal translation).  Though it is not so "hidden" anymore, the only real clue is a crowd of cars and motorcycles parked off the side of the road between Surin and Kamala Beaches.  Through the trees you'll catch a glimpse of this beautiful beach.  Be prepared for a small hike down the bluff - about five minutes of huffing and puffing - but it's worth it!

There are usually five or six beach shack restaurants along this beach, they come and go - more in high season, fewer in low season.  The climb down will help build an appetite.  From the southern tip of this beach you can see the Kamala head land - and if you clamber out on the rocks on the northern end - you can even catch a glimpse of Kamala's beaches.  Great snorkeling around both of the headlines and recently there is a "clear kayak" business on the beach where you can rent a completely clear kayak to take around the headlands so you can see the coral and fish.

The parking by the road is a bit crowded during high season, and a small shack there at times collects a fee for parking.  I'm not a fan of the parking fee, but since they also seem to pick up the litter and keep the place tidy, maybe it is a good idea.
