Yanui Beach
★★★★☆
(653)
Yanui Beach is a small beach facing west, near the southern tip of Phuket. As soon as you enter, you’ll be deep, but you will only dive down to about 12 meters. Near the center of the bay, at a depth of 8 meters, there is a large root called “corralea mole“ where schools of fish are found.
You can see the endemic Indian species such as the Corale butterflyfish. You will also find rare and unusual creatures such as frogfish, triggerfish, and hecoa crocodile fish.
