 Karon
Beach (20 & 17 km from town)
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 is
the most up-scale of Phuket's beaches. There is a regular daytime
bus service to and from Phuket Town.
