Karon is Phuket's second-longest beach: a vast strip of white quartz sand that squeaks underfoot. It's far less crowded than Patong, yet the restaurants, massage and scooter rentals sit right behind it along the road.
Entry is gentle, but summer brings strong rip currents — swim between the flags. In the evening, head up to Karon Viewpoint for a panorama of three bays at once.
