Escape the City for Fresh Air: Walking Through the Seaside Mangrove Forest at Saphan Hin, Phuket
When people mention “Saphan Hin,” many might think of the large seaside activity area designated for recreational activities or jogging. However, at the far end of this public park lies another tranquil corner filled with nature: the “Saphan Hin Mangrove Forest.”
As you walk deeper from the shaded pine garden by the sea, you will begin to see natural pathways leading into a modest-sized mangrove forest. Although not as extensive as dedicated conservation areas, it is surrounded by mangrove trees, creating an atmosphere akin to walking through an authentic coastal forest, complete with sea breezes flowing through as you stroll and breathe in the pure air.
Another highlight is that if you continue walking along the coastal forest trail, you will encounter a small, peaceful beach—a perfect natural photography spot without crowds, or an ideal place to rest and spread a mat for family relaxation, suitable for leisurely days off.
This location is perfect for anyone seeking respite from the hustle and bustle, offering an opportunity to recharge amidst nature close to the city. Without needing to drive far distances, you can experience proximity to forests, sea breezes, and sandy beaches.
