PULSE CITY GUIDE: Paradise Beach in Phuket

Paradise Beach Phuket is a little beach cove with azure sea, soft sand, and coconut trees located approximately 4 kilometers from Patong Beach. On some nights, there will be plenty of beach chairs, bars, restaurants, shops, and enormous events and parties. Formerly known to host outstanding Phuket Full Moon parties, Paradise Beach is humble, secluded, hidden gem on the island. 

If you've ever visited this beach in the past, you'll be surprised to learn how much it's changed in recent years. With several beach chairs and a few eateries, it was always a bit busy, but it now appears more relaxed. Restaurants, shops, bars, stages, dance floors, and more colorful businesses can be found all along the shore. It isn't to everyone's taste, and admission isn't free, yet it continues to attract visitors due to its natural beauty and charm. 

To reach this spot, drive south from Patong Beach to the bridge that leads to the famous 'Amari Phuket,' and turn left after the bridge. Then continue for a few kilometers until you see the Marriott Merlin Beach Resort on the left and the beautiful Tri Trang Beach on the right and Paradise Beach sign will be seen from 2-3 kilometers after. The route is tiny but well-paved, making it quite easy to navigate. You'll arrive at a large parking lot with room for more than twenty automobiles and a large number of bicycles. When you visit Paradise Beach, make sure not to leave any trash on the island.
