Tiny cove below the Karon Viewpoint road, reached by a steep track; a beach-club operation was ordered removed in 2026.
卡塔 · 200 m · 无 · November–April · Revision 2026年9月5日
Nui Beach is 200 m of sand in 卡塔, open to the south-west monsoon, without lifeguards, reached by 小路 15 min free of charge. Best months to swim: November–April; rip-current risk from May to October: high. Good for snorkelling, quiet.
Nui Beach is the two-hundred-metre cove hidden below the coast road between 小卡塔 and 奈汉, reached by a steep track and a scramble, with granite boulders, clear water and snorkelling along the rocks. For years a beach club charged an entrance fee of a few hundred baht and ran loungers and a restaurant on it; in 2026 the Royal Forest Department ruled the site protected forest, ordered the structures removed and the minister stated that no one has the right to charge entry. At this revision the beach is free and its facilities uncertain. It faces the open Andaman and is unsafe in the green-season swell, with no lifeguards at any time. Go in the calm months, early, and carry everything in.

Island rough-sea days, median per calendar month, 2015–2025; the beach's best months in the figure colour · Open-Meteo (ERA5), 2015–2026
The table above applies the island's marine normals to this beach: median rough-sea days per calendar month from Open-Meteo (ERA5), 2015–2026 (2015–2025, marine fields from 2022), damped by the beach's shelter, and median sea-surface temperature from Open-Meteo Marine API (2022-12–2026-08). Calm months here: October–April. Some swell: May–June. Rough: July–September. The sea is 28.8–31.0 °C as monthly medians, warm in every month; temperature never decides a swim on Phuket, the sea state does. The best-months row is the beach's own calm season and is derived, not opinion.
Nui Beach is open to the south-west monsoon, which decides its year. It takes the south-west swell directly, so it follows the island's marine normals exactly: a calm sea in October–April and rough-sea days in May–September, when red flags fly on rough days and the rip-current risk is high. There are no lifeguards at any time, and no one is watching on a rough day. Caught in a rip: float, swim parallel to the beach until the pull stops, then in. Phuket records around 30–40 drownings a year, most of them between May and October on the open west coast; the hospitals catalogue names the nearest 24-hour emergency room from 卡塔, and the emergency number is 1669. Jellyfish drift in after storms on the whole coast; vinegar is the first aid.
The Royal Forest Department ordered the removal of eleven unauthorised structures in the protected forest zone by 5 June 2026; no fee may be charged and facilities are in flux.

In November–April, yes — the sea is calm on the island's marine normals. From May to October the rip-current risk is high: the beach takes the swell directly and flies red flags on rough days. There are no lifeguards. Red flag means no swimming; in an emergency call 1669.
