This year's
Best Beachs on island.
When
planning a Phuket holiday choose both your season and your beach very carefully. Each of
the island’s beaches is quite different in atmosphere and density of hotel
development. Below we list all major beaches, starting with the most densely populated,
moving through to beaches with little or no habitation.
No.1
Patong Beach
(15 km from town)
Patong Beach-the most famous of them, is crowded with hotels, restaurants, shopping
centres, bars etc. This vibrant centre throbs with excitement each night, and is
particularly popular with the younger set.

No.2
Karon Beach
(20 & 17 km from town)
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.

No.3
Kata Beach
(20 & 17 km from town)
Beautiful Kata is a scenic gem, its clear water flanked by hills, and picturesque Bu
island sits offshore. Kata retains a village feel at its northern and southern ends
and is perhaps more family-oriented, its beach more peaceful than Patong. |

No.4
Singh Beach
(About 1 km from Surin Beach)
The name means Lion's Point. The beach is in a small, curving bay with rocky headlands at
the foot of forest-fringed cliffs and is among Phuket's most beautiful spots. Look for
signs indicating the path down to the beach. |
