Water shoes for the reef
The seabed is rocky with old coral almost everywhere, so Kalim is for surfing and views rather than swimming; wear booties to surf or snorkel.

关于Kalim Beach
Kalim is a modest bay just north of Patong, where the coast road climbs towards Kamala. The sand is coarse, and the seafloor is mostly rocks and coral rubble, so it is neither a swimming nor a sunbathing beach. Locals come to walk their dogs, fish from the shore and watch the sea.
In the low season Kalim turns into one of Phuket's surf spots, with a reef break that works best at high tide and has hosted surf contests. The waves are not huge, and the sharp reef makes it a spot for surfers who can handle it rather than for beginners.
The views over Patong Bay have drawn some of the area's best restaurants, from Michelin-listed French and Italian dining to a halal seafood place in bamboo huts by the sea. At the end of each afternoon, food vendors park their cars along the seafront and sell dishes from their boots.

我们对Kalim Beach的评分
4.0（满分 5）
Low-season surfing, a sunset drink and a good dinner a short walk from Patong.
Kalim earns its place for low-season surf, sunset views over Patong Bay, afternoon street food along the seafront and a cluster of very good restaurants just north of Patong. It sits at the bottom of the site's scale because the sand is coarse and the seabed is rocks and coral rubble, so it is not a beach for swimming or lying on the sand.

Kalim Beach小贴士
Swim at Patong
Kalim is for looking, eating and surfing; for a swim, walk 20 minutes south to Patong.
Come at the end of the afternoon
That is when the street-food cars arrive along the seashore and the light turns golden for sunset.
Surf at high tide
The reef works best and is safest at high tide; at low tide it is shallow.
Wear booties
Whether surfing or snorkelling, reef booties protect your feet from the coral.
Book the good tables
Acqua fills up in the high season; reserve a table ahead.
No alcohol at Rim Lay
Kalim Rim Lay is a halal restaurant: no pork or alcohol, but some of the best grilled chicken around.
