Freedom Beach

Freedom beach is always so relaxed and beautiful. The little bar/restaurant area here is tropical and well priced. You can get a beer, a cocktail or soft drinks. The food is so delicious and authentic Thai flavours. I would suggest arriving by long tail boat as the boat ride to freedom beach is spectacular. If you arrive by car, you can chose to pay to get the bus down to the entrance which is recommended as I have seen many people fall and really hurt themselves. Once the bus drops you off there is a huge rock stairway you must climb down to get to the beach (you have to climb this on your way back, so be prepared) this is a definite must do if you are visiting phuket.

Beautiful and very secluded. There is a bit of a trek down to the beach if you don't pay for the parking at the end but it's not too bad. The beach itself is like something out of an anime, absolutely picturesque and stunning scenery. Plenty of green canopies that contrast the green to marine blue water and the sand is golden. Not too busy either, I noticed that it isn't really signposted on the roads around the area so you've got to choose to go beforehand, mainly families and couples here and plenty of space even at peak times. I can only imagine the sunrise and sunset here are pretty special.

Freedom Beach is absolutely stunning. The water is deep, clear blue and the sand is soft and clean — it looks like something out of a postcard. It’s a bit of a hike to get down there, but that’s what keeps it quiet and peaceful. Surrounded by trees and nature, it feels completely untouched. Great spot to swim, sit back, and just take in the view — really beautiful place.

Freedom Beach is hands down one of the most beautiful spots in Phuket! 🌴 The walk down is quite steep, part concrete path, then a bit of bush track, but every step is worth it the moment you see that turquoise water and soft white sand. The beach feels hidden and peaceful, yet it has everything you need: a flagged swimming area with surf lifesavers, and the lovely Barefoot Café right on the sand serving food and icy drinks. Perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. A true slice of paradise! 🌊☀️🥥

Overrated beach!!! The view from the top is gorgeous can’t say it isn’t! Not an easy way down at all! Plenty of stairs! When you get to the beach there is loads of rubbish, don’t know why I paid to get it in?? The lifeguard was not nice when I asked if there is a different way back up apart from the stairs… there weren’t boats on that day! There is a different way back up, from the middle set of stairs, walk up the first lot and then get a buggy up to the top for 100 baht!! Stayed at the Marriot Merlin beach hotel and their beach is honestly just as beautiful! This place would be perfect if the access to the beach was made lot more easier - needs a revamp! It’s so possible to do! The beach needs to be cleaner too! It would go from a 1 star to at least a 4 star!

Sadly not the same Freedom Beach anymore. 😞 I visited Freedom Beach about 8 years ago, and it used to be absolutely beautiful – quiet, clean, and wild. Today I came back and honestly felt sad. There were hundreds of people, loud music, and trash everywhere. The beach has completely lost its natural charm and peaceful vibe. It’s still a nice spot, but no longer the hidden paradise it once was.

Beautiful and heavenly beach. The way down to it and up is not for everyone though. It takes a while and is quiet a difficult road and you can only get there by walking down. Having said that, the hike is so beautiful. There is a nice open restaurant down at the beach but it's very expensive so you should eat beforehand or bring food.

The water is crystal clear and super clean gives off serious Fiji island vibes. Perfect spot for laying out under the sun, grabbing a cold drink, and just soaking in the view. No noisy water sports or banana boats, which is a huge plus if you’re here to relax. But fair warning: the hike up and down is no joke! It’s steep and a bit rough, so definitely not for the faint-hearted. That said, if you’re into adventure and don’t mind breaking a sweat to get to paradise, it’s 100% worth it. Feels like a hidden gem for beach lovers who enjoy a bit of a challenge.
