Ka Cape

Ka Cape (Laem Ka) is a popular stop for Thai visitors to the island. Located at the extreme southwest of Chalong Bay. South of the point is Laem Ka Beach, a sandy strip dotted with rocks and boulders. Okay for swimming, but watch out for coral close in. The extensive coral reefs off shore make for interesting snorkeling mornings, when the waters are clear. Bungalows, Thai food, and boat charters to the islands are available.

Chalong Bay

Chalong Bay (Ao Cha Long) is Phuket's principal boat anchorage and the island's largest bay. Chalong Bay has a long flat, shallow, muddy bottom; at ebb tide, waters recede as much as one kilometer. It is very picturesque but useless for swimming. Most visitors to the islands south of Phuket depart from Chalong pier, and the bay's restaurants are well known for their seafood. Charters to various places can be arranged from there, and it is the center of the island's yachting businesses.

To get there take Chao Fah Tawan Okk Rd. to Chalong Circle, often called the Ha Yaek, or Five Ways, because it is a five- way intersection. The pier and a number of restaurants are located on the short road leading to the beach from the circle.
