About Karon

Our Rating: -

Karon, the second largest of Phuket's principal west coast beaches, is quiet and relaxed. This beach is just astonishing the sand is very white and squeaks like snow when walked upon.

There are a few good local restaurants and a vast expanding range of accommodation from small guesthouses, family resorts and elite hotels.

The beach is huge and has lots of room and is rarely crowded.

Snorkelling at the southern end of the beach is good with a coral reef stretching towards Kata beach.

From November to April, Karon beach offers perfect conditions for in water activities, but from May to October swimming can be dangerous because of strong undertows, so observe the warning flags.
