What can I say besides saying awesome and just the water and quiet beach is to die for.You can stay in Patong for two days but then head to Surin Beach for sure.

We went here on the way back from Green sanctuary elephant park as it was the closest one. The beach is quiet and wild (no umbrellas), you can spend some peaceful hours here. Also there is a rocky path to another even wilder and quieter beach - Laem Sing.

Great experience overall! The Surin Beach tour with AbsoluteAsiaTours.Com was fantastic, and our guide Stephen made it even better. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to answer our questions. The tour itself was well-organized, and we got to see all the highlights of Surin Beach, from the beautiful coastline to the local markets. We especially enjoyed the traditional Thai lunch that was included in the tour - it was delicious! The transportation was comfortable and on time, and we felt safe throughout the entire experience. We highly recommend AbsoluteAsiaTours.Com and Stephen for anyone looking for a great tour of Surin Beach!

We stayed a five min walk from here & came every day. The swimming is beautiful - water clear, very blue and clean. Depending on the wind there were some small waves but nothing dangerous. There were plenty of kids swimming happily.
Above the beach are a range of sun beds for hire and restaurants - we had lunch most days. Great value and delicious food. Attentive friendly staff.

Decided to make the short trip from Kamala a spend some time in Surin. Taxi delivered us to the beach area. The traders seemingly expecting throngs as the beach area was packed with chairs, umbrellas, massage beds and all the other paraphernalia that is familiar on beaches in Thailand. The throngs were already arriving, food stalls and massage ladies very busy; we purchased a drink and sat for a while enjoying the views. Time to move when the stall owner kept glancing at our near empty bottles. In any event, too crowded for us.

This restaurant-on-the-beach is the one at the big (and only) tree on the beach where people lie in the shade. It is a Russian hangout with menu items also written in Russian. This restaurant overcharged me by 100 baht - on a bill that should have been 170 they charged me 270. I should have examined the bill and then said something but I didn’t. I just handed over a 500 baht bill without looking. Maybe they count on their Russian customers not having enough English to argue when getting ripped off.

One of the most amazing trips we have done. Crew on catermaran, we're amazing. The snorkaling at 2 sites amazing. The lunch on Surin Island was brilliant, would certainly recommend trip long day but we'll worth it

Unless you love to get stampeded by Russians that simply don't care the "sh*t" about you!
Trash all over the place.

Clear azure water but crazy waves! Beware of the current when swimming with kids. It has some rocky area , girls went there for some intagram photos. This beach is relevantly a small beach compared to other beaches in Phuket

Is there any spots nearby I can take a shower if not staying in Surin beach? I plan to stop there for some beach time then go further for something else but won't have time to come back to hotel in Patong

Hello,
Could you tell me is there sharks or deadly jellyfish at Surin Beach. Coming in a weeks time and my grandson likes surfing, is it safe at this time of year.
Are there Life guards on duty as there are conflicting comments saying they're gone?
First time to Thailand.
Cheers

No sharks or jelly fish, the hotel has a small shack that manages water sports and the guys working there are the life guards. however, if the sea state is rough then there are warning flags to tell you not to go in. When it is calm it is shallow and very pleasant.

Is the place good for snorkelling and is there any day trips offered around there? Is it normally crowded?
Is the location convenient for island-hopping trips to be arranged?

I didn't see anything advertised in the resort, just taxi trips, which weren't particularly cheap. If you want something a bit more lively and convenient for transport/island hopping you probably have to be based in Patong.

Ciao a tutti, attualmente Surin Beach è attrezzata con lettini (no materassini sulla sabbia.....) ed ombrelloni? So che a Kata sono stati reintrodotti dallo scorso anno......
Grazie!
