Phuket's landmark, offering breathtaking sunset and seaview

The most famous sunset scene of Phuket is undeniably at Phromthep Cape, known to the local as Laem Jao (The Gods Cape.) Stretching into the sea, the cape, Phuket’s southernmost point, is a prominent landmark for mariners since the old days. Its tall cliff features a spectacular view of the neighbouring island Koh Gaew and Nai Harn Beach. From the cliff lie lines of palm trees, which run to the edge where the cape meets the emerald green sea.

Kanchanabhisek Lighthouse was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of H.M. the King’s ascension to the throne. At the top of the lighthouse visitors can see the magnificent view of the cape.

Phromthep Cape is not far away from Rawai Beach. From the beach, turn right and go for 2 kms. The cape can also be reached by a road along Nai Han Beach.
