Is that shimmering sand? Sai Kaew Beach, also known as Haad Sai Kaew, often gets mistaken for having “glass sand” due to its sparkling appearance. This misunderstanding comes from the literal translation of “Sai Kaew” which means “glass sand.” However, the sand here is actually just strikingly white and fine, giving it that glistening look under the Phuket sun. Located at the northern tip of Phuket, Sai Kaew Beach viewpoint gives you a panoramic view of this pristine shoreline stretching towards the Sarasin Bridge. From here, you can see the bridge connecting Phuket to the mainland, marking a symbolic separation between the island and the rest of Thailand. While you enjoy this breathtaking vista, imagine the bustling seafood restaurants that once dotted this beach. Sadly, most were deemed illegal and removed, leaving only one survivor. This lone restaurant, with its traditional bamboo huts nestled right on the sand, offers a true taste of local cuisine at reasonable prices. Sai Kaew Beach viewpoint is a peaceful escape from the busier tourist spots, offering a glimpse into the serene, less crowded side of Phuket.
