Surin Beach is a quiet and very relaxing beach, a rather undeveloped bay lined by a row of high Casuarina trees which give shade to those who are tired of Phuket's tropical sun and provide a pleasant change from the common palm trees found everywhere else.
It is the favorite beach for the locals, who flock here on weekends and holidays to enjoy seafood and other freshly prepared meals in one of the beach restaurants.
Unlike most Phuket beaches, Surin Beach has a steep sand shelf, making it not so suitable for swimming. Big waves are common on Surin beach during the monsoon season and can create dangerous undertow conditions.
Surin Beach offers some good snorkeling opportunities at both ends of the beach but during the rainy season the water visibility is not very good, due to high turbulence.
Surfing is becoming increasingly popular here because there are often good waves during monsoon season.
