Mai Khao Beach is a beach on the northwestern side of Phuket, Thailand. It's also known as Airport Beach, as it's very close to the airport. The northern portion is known as Sai Kaeo Beach, a long white sandy beach with groves of pines along the shore. The beach can be reached by taking the Thepkasattri Road on to the Thao Thepkasattri Bridge, then take a left turn at the direction sign pointing to Mai Khao Beach. It is the habitat of the sea cicadas and turtles.
Many kilometers of deserted beach characterize Mai Khao where there is little tourist business. The water is fine for swimming during the dry season, the rainy season brings big waves and strong currents that are dangerous.
This lonely beach is another area where sea turtles come to lay eggs. It is also home to what the Thais call a sea cicada, which is a form of marine life.
How to get there: Go to the northern tip of Phuket; the beach lies along the road's length.
