Kata Beach is a 1.5-km strip of golden sand and is considered one of the most popular beaches in Phuket due to its combination of beauty, facilities, and activities. Hundreds of people come each day to soak up the sun and swim in the sea. Often busy but never crowded, this beach is pleasing in many ways.
Kata Beach is οne of the best beach in Phuket, it is west facing, with a gently shelving beach and there is a small island which protects this beach. This means that it is fine to swim all year round (on many of the west-facing beaches the seas are too rough in the summer season for safe swimming and surfing). In the peak season from November to April, the sea is mostly calm, and there is good snorkeling at the south end of Kata Beach, also boat trips and long tail boats will ferry you off the beach to other islands or beaches.
