Karon Beach, Just over the big hill (going south past Le Meridien Hotel) and only 10 minutes from Patong Beach lies Karon Beach, with three miles of unspoiled sand and a good choice of accommodation. Development on Karon is fairly spread out, and because of its size the beach is seldom crowded. In the southwest monsoon (May to October) it can be dangerous to swim here because of strong undertows, so do observe the warning flags.
Nai Harn Beach on the southern end of Phuket, is one of the island's most beautiful locations. Still with only one hotel The Phuket Yacht Club-- and a few bars and restaurants, this area gives the feeling of Phuket many years ago. Fine sand and clear water makes this one of the island's nicest beaches. |
