Karon Beach

Karon Beach (Haad Ka Ron) is the second largest of Phuket's principal tourist beaches. Large resort complexes line the road back of the beach, but the strand itself, long and broad, has no development. The sand is very white, and squeaks audibly when walk on. The southern point has a find coral reef stretching toward Kata Beach and Poo Island. Restaurants, bars, tour companies and other non-hotel businesses are at the north end, near the traffic circle, and at the south, on the little road connecting the back road with the beach road. The narrow road between Kata and Karon has a number of small businesses as well as the Dino Park Mini Golf facility. Karon Beach is the most up-scale of Phukt's beaches. Regular daytime buses (Songthaew) service to and from Phuket Town.

The smallest of Phuket's three main tourist beaches, Kata Beach (Haad Ka Ta) is different in appearance and style from Karon Beach or Patong Beach. The beach itself is broad and curving, and structures bordering it are low-rise. The waters are perfect for swimming, and at the north end is a coral reef with many varied corals and fishes which stretches out toward Poo Island (Koh Poo), about 1/2 kilometer off shore. Facilities, for every price range, include hotels, bungalows, tour companies, restaurants, bars and clubs. Regular buses (Songthaew) service to and from Phuket Town during daytime.
