Kata Beach - Phuket
Located just to the south of Karon, Kata Beach is more laid back than its more famous sister.
Hotel Reservations - more than 600 hotels & resorts
Kata Beach
Kata is one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket - and very popular among families with younger children. Scandinavian charter operators have for years sent tourists to the local hotels.
Club Med has a huge property next to the beach. Kata is great for anyone who likes to go for a run or just relax for a day.
As with all the western beaches on Phuket, swimmers should be mindful of the strong riptides which prevail during the monsoon season. And although they are technically banned on Phuket, jet skis remain a hazard to swimmers as well as an annoyance.
What
these beach communities may lack in charm, they make up for in
convenience, and vacationers will find all tourist services readily
available. Gear for water sports can be rented, travel arrangements can
be readily made, restaurants abound (including some rather pricey ones),
and souvenirs can be purchased.
Koh Pu
An island in the bay just north of Kta Beach, Ko Pu, is within swimming distance of the beach and provides good snorkeling. It is also a great spot to watch the sunset.
