Surin Beach is a sandy stretch in the Choengtalay area of Thalang district, and Benyada Lodge is about 200 m from the sand. The neighbourhood is a mix of small hotels and beach clubs along the road, so it suits guests who want the sea close at hand rather than a nightlife base.

Laem Sing Beach, 900 m away, sits beside the Laem Sing headland, and Phuket FantaSea, a large entertainment complex with a theatre show, is 2.3 km away. Patong Beach, known for its nightlife, is 7.9 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 15.2 km away. The main sights are spread across the island, so a car or taxi is the practical way to reach them.

A day could start with a morning on Surin Beach, then a visit to Phuket FantaSea in the evening. For a day out, the Big Buddha Phuket is a hilltop statue reached by road, and Wat Chalong, the Chaithararam Temple, is one of the island's best-known temples. Kata Beach and Karon Beach, both further along the road, are popular for swimming and walks along the sand. Both beaches are reached by road, so an afternoon at either makes an easy change of scene from Surin Beach.
