What are some lesser-known viewpoints in Phuket that offer a unique experience?

If you venture to the viewpoint at Banana Beach on Koh Hey, you'll find it's less crowded and offers a serene setting with beautiful views of the surrounding islands. It's perfect for a more intimate experience with nature.

• Another hidden gem is the viewpoint near Windmill Beach, which is a bit off the beaten path but rewards those who make the trek with stunning vistas and a peaceful atmosphere.

Conditions can change between beaches and from one hour to the next. Check the warning flags, speak with lifeguards where available, keep children within reach and do not treat calm-looking water as proof that currents are safe.
