Nai Harn is pretty much unspoilt compared to some other beaches on Phuket on account of the fact that there is a monastery running behind most of the beach. Due to its sheltered nature, it is a favourite mooring place for yachts in high season giving protection against the north east monsoon. With the onset of the south west monsoon, it can become pretty rough with large waves crashing onto the beach. Unfortunately many people have drowned here during the south west monsoon mainly because they haven't taken heed of the flags that indicate swimming is dangerous.
