Rawai Beach
Property Information by Wcities
Known locally as Haad Rawai and located 17 kilometers to the south of the town, this palm-fringed beach is best known for Phuket's, “Chao Le” people, or “Sea Gypsies”--a nomadic fishing minority believed to be of Melanesian descent. As picturesque as the beach itself is the breathtaking drive down to it.
The entire coastline is strung with short, sandy stretches of curved beach, some untouched by human feet. Several nearby islands also have gleaming white beaches and dazzling underwater scenery, which attract fishing enthusiasts and scuba divers.
