kata - karon

  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.
