In a destination famous for its spectacular stretches of coastline, this is among the most popular and vibrant in Phuket. Spend a day dabbling in watersports, watch glorious sunsets, sample authentic street food and shop for souvenirs.

5. Kata Noi Beach

Kata Noi – meaning Kata “small” Beach – is a world away from many of the larger tourist beaches on busy Phuket Island. About half a mile (800 meters) south of Kata, Kata Noi stretches between two headlands at the end of a dead-end street. The beach itself is half a mile (800 meters) long and, on some days, almost deserted. Said to be one of the prettiest beaches in Phuket, it benefits from being on the road to nowhere, and for this, those in search of utter peace can be thankful.

A beach with clear turquoise water, large rocks in the foreground, and a boat docked near the shore.
