Freedom Beach
หาดฟรีด้อม
A hidden bay on the south side of Patong, reachable only by longtail boat or a steep hike, with white sand, clear water and few crowds.
Freedom Beach is tucked behind a headland on the south side of Patong and has no road access. Usually you take a longtail boat from Patong Beach for about 10–15 minutes, at around 1,500–2,000 baht round trip per boat, which is negotiable. Alternatively, you can walk down a steep mountain path. The bay is about 300 m long, with white sand and clear water, and snorkeling along the rocks shows fish. Visitors usually pay a cleaning fee of about 200 baht to land. Facilities are few, so bring your own drinking water. In the rainy season the wind and waves are strong, and boat operators may not go out.
