Surfing Bang Tao beach

Bang Tao beach is an 8 km long bay with white sand and rows of casuarina trees. There are many access points to this beach. The main entrance to Bangtao beach is 2 km north of Surin Village through the Laguna Phuket complex that takes up most of the middle of the bay. The complex consists of, The Banyan Tree Resort, The Allamanda, Dusit Laguna, and the Sheraton Grande Luguna Beach Club . The southern end of the beach has a small fishing village and some of the more budget priced hotels and guesthouses in bang tao.

There are many tracks leading down to the beach here and this section of the beach is protected from the swells, on the big surf days (over 3 metres) some nice smaller waves appear here. Towards the northern end of bang tao beach the waves get bigger. The northern end of the beach is exposed to the winds and the shifting sand banks make the surfing waves unpredictable, but on its' day the surf at bang tao can be perfect.
