One of the most beautiful and relaxed beaches in Phuket, Kata Beach is a pleasant bay with a small, palm-lined beach and a busy, but relaxed and calm atmosphere. Impressive rocks tower majestically over the beach which boasts clear, shallow waters which are perfect for swimming, snorkeling and splashing about – particularly for families with small children. Kata also has an impressive range of dining options, from budget street food to fine dining establishments, a lively but not too raucous nightlife, and an array of accommodation options all close to the beach. Surfers flock to catch Kata's waves from May to October.
