A rocky snorkelling cove

Ao Sane Beach, Phuket

Length: 0.2 kmNov–Apr; rocks make entry risky in wavesstay nearby from $18/night

Ao Sane is three little sandy pockets among boulders just past Nai Harn — the road runs right through a headland resort (free passage). It's the south's best 'house-reef' snorkelling, with fish just metres from shore.

The vibe is old-school boho: a wooden cafe, yoga, the sound of waves. Sand is limited and shrinks at high tide — come early, bring a mask, and reef shoes help.
