The beach is quite clean and beautiful. A very beautiful view of a small island. A lot of people learn to surf (there are often waves on the beach), fly parachutes, ride boots, etc.
There are no bars with tables on the beach (except for stalls that are at every turn), volleyball courts and animators too. A calm and quiet retirement vacation :) The beach is sandy (do not hurt your feet without slippers), the entrance to the water is gentle, the water is transparent.
If you need movement and hangouts, this is Patong.
Most of all, I liked to relax on the sun beds next to Beyond Resort Kata (there are bigger sun beds and cleaner water). Sun beds everywhere cost 100 baht/person. There is no toilet or shower on the beach. There is only one place (at least we just found it) where the toilet and shower are next to the Surf House Phuket cafe (on Google maps the toilet is called Mister Loo). Paid: toilet - 10 baht, shower - 20 baht.
Beautiful sea view. There is an island nearby. Clean sand and water. The water is warm, I don't even want to get out. There are many sun beds, a sunbed is 200 baht for two sun beds. The entrance to the water is shallow, children can swim. There are large waves on the left side of the beach and in the middle, more than on the right side of the beach when viewed from the shore into the sea. If you want to ride the waves on a board, then it's better in the middle of the beach. Unfortunately, there is no shower and no water to rinse your feet after the beach. There are usually free cars from the hotels to the beach. On the beach, a limited set is sold, water, drinks, but more expensive than in the store.
The beach is beautiful, the sea was always clean. There are a lot of boats on the right, you can go further away and everything is fine there. The coastline is not very wide compared to Karon. There are sun beds for an additional fee and there are plenty of food tents at the entrance.
