Kamala beach is located just fifteen minutes by tuk tuk north of Patong beach. Along the way, from the Khao Phanthurat viewpoint, you can see the whole bay with its magnificent 2.5 kilometers crescent shaped beach.
The northern end of the unspoiled and scenic bay features a sandy beach, shaded by Casuarina trees. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it is a very pleasant location for those who are looking for a quiet place for sunning or taking a long quiet stroll along an almost deserted beach.
Kamala bay provides, besides its family attractions, good swimming in crystal clear water on its northern end. To explore the coral reefs just a few meters offshore, all you need are fins and a snorkel to enjoy the underwater beauty. Even more magnificent scenery awaits you if you are a scuba diver.
The middle part of Kamala bay is dominated by a village with small resorts dotted along the beach. It is a popular community for longer-term visitors to the island. The fishing village atmosphere remains with fishermen casting their nets and the occasional water buffalo roaming the beach unattended. Some small bars and seafood restaurants line the beach here, giving the opportunity for refreshment.
A twice-weekly village market currently held each Wednesday and Saturday afternoon provides ample color and fun for the visitor. You’ll have the opportunity to mingle with friendly local residents, and to sample locally produced fruit, vegetables and delicious snacks. Also in Kamala, there is Phuket FantaSea, a cultural theme park that presents a nightly extravaganza show, and is the only one of its kind on the island. If relaxation in a small seaside community is what you’re after, you’ll find Kamala a delight.
The second largest of Phuket’s tourist beaches. Large resort complexes line the road behind of the shoreline, but the long, broad beach itself has no development. The sand is very white, and squeaks audibly when walked upon. The southern point has a fine coral reef stretching toward Kata and Bu Island.
Restaurants, bars, tour companies and other non-hotel businesses are at the north end, near the traffic circle, and at the south end, 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 facillity. Karon Beach is the most up-scale of Phuket’s beaches. There is a regular daytime bus service to and from Phuket Town.
Karon is quiet and relaxed. Lots of good local restaurants and a good range of accommodation from small guesthouses to family resorts. The beach has lots of room and is rarely crowded. Snorkelling at the southern end which has a coral reef stretching toward Kata and a small offshore island (Boo Island.) From November to April, Karon offers perfect conditions, but from May to October swimming can be dangerous because of strong undertows, so observe the warning flags.
