One of the peculiar features of Karon Beach is that the dry sand under your feet squeaks with a crunchy sound as you walk, and it feels ticklish under your feet. The northern end of the Karon beach is typically desolate, which is near a lake, and is an ideal place if you want the place all for yourself in case you are traveling with your family. Karon beach is also known for its large waves, especially from May to October, which can swell up to 2 metres. But from November to April the water is very clear and the waves are more timid during this season.

At the northern side, restaurants, hotels, and other tour business are available. Most of the Thai Restaurants serve Western, Thai, and continental dishes. South side of Karon Beach is an ideal place for snorkeling during high tide. The southern side has a fine stretch of coral reef toward Bu and Kata Island. Wind surfing is best known here, since you have plenty of space to operate.  You can also get the much loved Thai massage for a reasonable pricing and the masseuses are set up in the shaded areas. If you prefer more noise than the quiet, then head toward the Kata Beach which is brewing with activities.

Swimming or surfing in Kata Noi Beach

Like other provinces in the south, Phuket’s weather conditions are dominated by monsoon winds that happen throughout the year. Rainy and dry are the two distinct seasons here. The rains begin in May and lasts till October, at which time the monsoon blows from the southwest.  Kata Noi Beach has long been a popular spot for surfers in the monsoon season though swimmers should be aware of the strong riptides which prevail during this time. The sea can get pretty rough indeed, chances are you’ll have the beach all to yourself, and swimming is advisable for able-swimmers only.  The dry season is from November and it goes on till April when the monsoon happens from the northeast.

Kata Noi beach is a great snorkeling location because of its crystal clear waters, and a lot of fish inhabit the rocks and corals along the beachless shoreline. This is the beach of choice if you are swimming with small children because it remains shallow for about thirty meters from the shoreline.
