Kata Beach Phuket

When you are looking at the Phuket map, consider Kata Beach Phuket, which is a beautiful bayside beach that is great for surfers from May to October and great for everything else from November to April. When you look at the Phuket map, Kata Beach Phuket is located just south of Karon Beach. The town is compact, with everything in ten minutes of walking distance. It is more family oriented than some of the other beaches because the nightlife consists of open-air bars that overlook the beautiful beach, clear sea and remote tropical islands. Sitting right on Kata Bay, this beach features the true beachfront hotels, with no roads in between. You can find some great Kata Beach hotels on the Phuket map.

Kata Centre and Kata South are the north and south ends of Kata Beach Phuket. They feature shops, restaurants and plenty of mini marts to pick up snacks for a day at the beach. When you are looking at the Phuket map, you will find plenty of the finest restaurants in Thailand, offering all kinds of cuisines, but specializing in seafood and authentic Thai or European food. You can visit restaurants on the beachfront, or drive to some of them that are in the hills for dining on a terrace with panoramic views or enjoy the lush tropical rainforests and gardens.

Of course, if you look on the Phuket map and find some of the elegant Kata Beach hotels, many of them offer gourmet cuisines, themed dinner buffets and some feature Thai dancer performances. Kata Beach also offers family dining for those that just want hamburgers or a light snack. In fact some of the beach vendors sell pizza and sandwiches by going sun lounger to sun lounger. There are only a few actual nightclubs, so Kata Beach Phuket isn't known for the nightlife like Karon Beach or Patong Beach Phuket. That's why many people that want a quieter getaway love Kata Beach Phuket the most.

When you look at the Phuket map, Kata Beach is only about a mile long, but it is a popular beach because of its golden sand and the protected bay has crystal clear turquoise water that doesn't have big waves except during the south-west monsoon season. It has fine dining on the beach, along with beachfront, open-air bars. There are sun loungers along the length of the beach and the south end has the most restaurants and shops. There are public toilets on the beach road, along with shady places under the trees.

There are some great water sports on Kata Beach Phuket. You can rent windsurfers, Hobie cats, jet skis, get pulled behind a speedboat on an inflatable or go parasailing. Snorkeling is popular on the north and south ends of the beach, where the rock outcroppings host a variety of marine life. The scenery from Kata Beach Phuket offers a variety of distant mountain ranges, lush green tropical islands and some of the most spectacular sunsets.
