Kata Beach

The unique Kata Beach beach makes it that it is within walking distance of all the hotels, since they are in this part of Phuket located almost all relatively close to sea level. Log into the sea is gentle, diving in depth occurs about 4-5 meters, but immediately becomes deep. The sand on the beach is shallow, light, without shell rock. The width of the beach ranges from about 10-15 meters. On both sides the beach is surrounded by cliffs, covered with jungles, which makes it very cozy and its shape is similar to a crescent moon. The beach itself is separated from the hotel line by a strip of trees and palm trees that have spread their branches so extensively towards the beach that they can serve as shelter from the sun when it starts to tangibly at noon.

Between the line of hotels and beaches, there is a road that is rarely visited by cars, mostly taken by tourists. There is no city transport and the noise from the road is almost invisible. This is another undeniable plus of Kata Beach. In the high season, which lasts in Phuket from November to April inclusive, the sea is not high waves. This makes bathing safe. Even beginners swim will not be difficult to swim, azure water takes the swimmer and keeps on the surface due to the large amount of salt contained in the sea.

Tourists with children will definitely come to this place. The absence of noisy parties and discos, noisy roads with developed traffic, a minimum of the local population makes this place safe and quiet. You only need to carefully choose a hotel, where you can offer a children’s menu in addition to the general menu, and there are many such hotels.

There are many cafes on the beach, where you can fully eat lunch and dinner. At the same time you can walk along the entire beach strip from restaurant to restaurant, there are no delimitation of beaches, there is no any securing of them for a particular hotel (in contrast, for example, from Turkey). It is very convenient, the traveler can choose himself any place where he is located. Umbrellas and deckchairs are toll-free, but you can also sit for free on a towel brought with you. On the beach constantly defiling sellers, offering drinks, food, souvenirs, clothes. No harassment of tourists, the Thai people are sufficiently well-educated, never impose themselves, only depends on the tourist, there is a desire today to buy this or that trinket. It is worth noting that a little bargaining on the beach you can buy a souvenir cheaper than in the store.

Another attractive feature of Kata is a well-developed infrastructure from the stores “Seven Eleven” and a cafe with local seafood. The chain of stores “Seven Eleven” is a small supermarket in the European style, where you can always buy dairy products, cookies, sweets, and other locally produced products, as well as soap, toothpaste and other utensils of the highest quality. These shops very much help tourists, so in hotels basically only breakfasts are provided. The problem of dinners is solved by numerous cafes located almost at every step with a delicious and always fresh menu of seafood. In such cafes, seafood is prepared, which have just been delivered from the sea: royal prawns, crabs, lobsters, lots of fish, oysters. Therefore, dinner turns into a ritual for gourmets who adore seafood, for them here is paradise. But those who prefer European food will also find a lot of cafes even with Russian cuisine, menus, soups and even pastries in the menu.
