Kata is the sweet spot: a lively but not rowdy resort town, a pretty bay with Ko Pu island on the horizon, and dozens of cafes for every budget. It works for couples and families alike.
In high season the sea is like a pool; from May to October Kata becomes the island's main surf spot with schools and board rentals. For snorkelling head to the rocks at the southern end.
