A working boat shore, not a swim beach

Rawai Beach, Phuket

Length: 1.5 kmYear-round for the market; swim elsewherestay nearby from $24/night

Rawai's seafront is a working boat beach with a famous seafood market — pick your catch and have it grilled across the road. It's the south's expat hub rather than a swimming spot.

For swimming, locals ride ten minutes to Nai Harn or Yanui. Island-hopping longtails leave straight from here.
