关于Kamala Beach
Kamala is a long, wide bay on Phuket's west coast, one bay north of Patong over the hill, with soft pale sand, casuarina and coconut trees along the back and headlands at each end. In the high season the sea is very shallow and clear, and the pace is much slower than in Patong or Kata, which makes it a favourite with families and couples.
The village grew out of a Muslim fishing community, and fishermen still work the bay. Behind the beach a narrow lane runs parallel to the shore with small restaurants, bars, massage shops and tailors, and a larger road behind it carries supermarkets and everyday shops. On the sand, a strip of casual restaurants and tiny bamboo bars serves breakfast, grilled chicken and sunset cocktails.
The north end is the smartest part, with the InterContinental's Pine Beach Bar and Café del Mar, one of Phuket's best-known beach clubs. The south end has parked fishing boats and streams that sometimes run brown into the sea, so most people swim in the north and centre. In the evening, Phuket FantaSea and Carnival Magic, two large theme parks, sit just inland.

带孩子游Kamala Beach
Kamala is one of Phuket's best family beaches. From December to April the water is shallow and calm, trees give shade all day, lifeguards are on duty, and the tourist strip is compact enough to walk everywhere. Two evening theme parks are just inland.
- Very shallow, calm water in the high season, best at the north end.
- Lifeguards on the beach; swim near them.
- A small playground near the north end.
- Phuket FantaSea and Carnival Magic for a big family evening.
- Avoid swimming at the south end, where streams run into the sea.
前往Kamala Beach及停车
- 自机场驾车
- 35–45 分钟
- 自芭东出发（含堵车）
- 15–20 分钟
- 自普吉镇
- 35–45 分钟
Kamala sits on the west-coast road, over the hill from Patong to the south and on the way to Surin to the north. The beach lanes run parallel to the sand just behind it.
- 自驾： About 10 km and 15 to 20 minutes from Patong over the hill road; around 45 minutes from the airport.
- 骑摩托车： Traffic is lighter than in Patong, and a scooter is the easiest way to reach Surin and the viewpoints.
- Grab 和出租车： Grab and taxis are easy; pre-book for late-night rides.
停车： There is no known public car park. For Café del Mar and the north end, use the drop-off at the InterContinental; check parking locally elsewhere.

- Swimmers from June to November, when the sea is often too rough to swim.
Kamala Beach小贴士
Swim north, not south
The north and centre have the best water; streams and fishing boats make the south end less appealing.
Claim a bed early at Pine
Pine Beach Bar's day beds go first in high season; arrive early in the afternoon.
Minimum spend, not rent
At Café del Mar you do not pay for the bed; you commit to spending a minimum on food and drink. For a quick beer, use the free sofas and bar seats.
Check Carnival Magic's days
Carnival Magic runs only on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings; plan around it.
Walk the back lane
The narrow lane one block behind the beach is pleasant in the evening, with small restaurants, bars and massage shops.
Chairs on part of the beach
Loungers are allowed on only a small part of the sand; bring a mat if you prefer the free, chair-free stretches.
Snorkel at Rayee
For real snorkelling, go to the house reef at Rayee Beach just south, a few metres from the sand.
