Wave protection: A southeastern bay near Cape Panwa, sheltered from the monsoon waves: the water stays calm almost all year round, even when the west-coast beaches are stormy.
Tide impact: Gently sloping bottom: at low tide it gets shallow and the water pulls back from the shore — swimming is more comfortable in the hours around high tide.
Getting in and seabed: Gently sloping sandy bottom, shallow near the shore; at low tide the water pulls back noticeably — swimming is more comfortable at high tide.
Who it suits: A quiet "local" beach away from the tourist areas: palm shade, yachts and boats moored on the water. Little infrastructure — a couple of cafés and restaurants.
Getting to Ao Yon Beach: A southeastern bay near Cape Panwa, away from the west coast. The beach is in two parts: the landmark for one is the Flamingo Beach Club, for the other Panwaburi Beachfront Resort — navigate by those. Nearby are the Phuket Aquarium and the Khao Khad viewpoint. on the map

High and low tide: today and tomorrow

Today, October 31, you can swim at Ao Yon Beach: waves around 0.5 m, best time 09:00–18:05.

Today, October 31, low tide is at 07:00 and 19:00, high tide at 01:00 and 13:00.

Today, October 31, waves up to 0.5 m — almost flat.

Partly: at a strong low tide getting into the water is harder, so it’s more comfortable to swim closer to high tide.

The beach is in a sheltered bay; rip currents are not typical here.
