Freedom Beach, Phuket

Freedom Beach is a hidden gem that is known for its natural beauty and picturesque views. The beach is located close to the popular Patong Beach, but it is much more serene and peaceful than its crowded neighbor. The beach is surrounded by hills and thick jungle, which makes it difficult to access, but it's worth the effort to get there.

One of the main attractions of Freedom Beach is the incredibly white sand that contrasts beautifully with the deep blue water. The beach looks like a classic painting right out of the canvas, and visitors can't help but be awed by its beauty. The beach is also relatively untouched by human activity, which makes it an ideal place for nature lovers.

Although the beach is difficult to access, there are ways to get there. During the high season, from December to June, visitors can take a long-tail boat from Kata, Patong, Karon, or Kamala. The shortest route is from the southern end of Patong Beach near the big bridge at Amari Phuket. The journey on a long-tail boat is usually long because of the low speed of the boat, but visitors can enjoy the scenic view along the way. The fare for a round trip is around 1200 to 1500 Baht per boat. Upon reaching the beach, visitors will have to jump into shallow water to disembark.

Freedom Beach has two different sections, which are separated by the boat landing spot. The northern side is more serene, so visitors can just sit back and relax with the mesmerizing view right in front of them. Visitors can also carry their swimsuits and snorkeling gears to the beach and enjoy seeing small fishes and other marine creatures.
