The western coast of Phuket is known to be relatively less crowded and more laidback than the other parts of the island. Karon Beach is located in this hushed and calm neighbourhood where the gushing waves of the ocean create the most noise and lull dwellers into midday siestas brought about by the sultry weather.
The pristine waters extend endlessly to the horizon in delightful shades of azure. The shoals of fish that swim close to the shore can be seen from the sandy beach itself as the waters are almost transparent. The waves in the area can be tumultuous at times, but are generally not destructive and allow for snorkelling. Kids will find that the waves are safe unless advised otherwise and can learn about diving, snorkelling and surfing.
The sand dunes on the beach separate the roadways from the seafront in the most natural manner. The sand is light hued and pure as if it has been sieved prior to finding a home for itself on the beach at Karon. The mild waves that swirl in do not draw the sand back to the sea, almost as if they know not to hamper the beauty of the shoreline. The couples who hold hands, the children who build sand castles and the families that sunbathe on this white coast would testify to the warmth and comfort of the sand under them.
The Dino Park Mini Golf situated to the south of the beach is a good distraction when the tide is high and the little ones will love how well the theme park portrays their favourite dinosaur characters. The whole family can while away some time at this venue till the weather permits more fun and frolic on the beach.
For a convenient and comfortable abode, a Phuket resort should be the choice. With a multitude of beaches and relaxation opportunities in all corners of the island, a Phuket beach resort is not a challenge to find, but it is always best to book in advance, especially if you have favourites such as Anantara Phuket Resort Thailand in mind. This well placed resort offers a truly memorable holiday on this enchanting island.
