Freedom bay is actually two small bays with sandy beaches. The Southern beach has a small restaurant and is generally the quieter of the two. The Northern beach also known as Merlin bay is the home of the Patong Merlin resort but the beach is normally only accessible at high tide. From here you can get a taxi into Patong. Not suitable in the Southwest season.
