Kata Beach Video
Kata Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Phuket, known for its wide curve of soft sand and clear blue water. The beach sits on the west coast, south of Karon Beach, and is surrounded by green hills on both sides.
The northern end is usually quieter, while the southern section has more restaurants, bars, and activity. Swimming is easy during the high season, and from May to October, Kata becomes one of the best spots on the island for surfing. Board rental shops set up along the beach during those months.
A small rocky island called Koh Pu sits just offshore and adds to the scenery, especially at sunset. The streets behind the beach have a good selection of restaurants, from simple Thai food stalls to more upscale places. There are also plenty of hotels near Kata Beach at every budget level.
Kata has a more relaxed feel than Patong, but still has enough going on to keep things interesting. For the full guide, see Kata Beach.
