Karon
Karon Beach is one of the most prestigious and popular areas of the west coast of Phuket, combining spacious beaches, developed infrastructure and a calm atmosphere. The length of the beach is about 5 kilometers, so even in high season it is much freer than in many other resorts of the island.
The main feature of Karon is a wide shore with fine light quartz sand, which, when walking, emits a characteristic “singing” sound. The entrance to the sea is smooth, the water most of the year is characterized by transparency and a rich turquoise shade, which makes the beach attractive for both recreation and swimming.
The area has a well-developed infrastructure. Within walking distance there are international restaurants, cozy cafes, beach clubs, massage parlors, supermarkets, pharmacies, markets, fitness centers and all the necessary everyday infrastructure. At the same time, Caron retains a more relaxed and respectable atmosphere compared to the neighboring Patong, offering a high level of comfort without the noise of active nightlife.
Another important advantage of the area is its good location. In just a few minutes you can reach the beaches of Kata and Kata Noi, the Karon observation deck, the Wat Karon temple and other popular attractions of the southern part of the island.
