关于Karon Beach
Karon is one of Phuket's longest beaches, about 3 km of wide white sand on the west coast between Patong and Kata. The sand has so much quartz that it squeaks when you walk barefoot on it, and the beach faces straight out to the Andaman, so every evening brings an open sunset. Even in high season, there is always a quieter stretch to walk to.
Only two hotels, the Centara Grand at the north end and Beyond Karon at the south, sit directly on the sand; the rest line the far side of the beach road, so the whole shore is one open public beach. A promenade along the road has filled with restaurants and bars, and the small town of Karon, around Karon Circle and Patak Road, has guesthouses, massage shops and modest nightlife.
From December to April the sea is usually calm with a gentle slope into the water. From May to October the waves are big, and lifeguards patrol the beach and post flags showing when you can swim.

我们对Karon Beach的评分
4.3（满分 5）
Long beach walks, sunsets and a relaxed stay with Patong and Kata close by.
Three kilometres of wide, white sand that squeaks underfoot, open sunsets over the Andaman and room to spread out even in high season, with no private frontage. It stays in the 'good with clear limits' band because the sea is rough for much of the low season and shade on the sand is limited.

Karon Beach的亮点
Singing sand
Karon's quartz sand squeaks when you walk barefoot on it, best in the afternoon when the dry sand is warm.
Room for everyone
Three kilometres of wide sand with almost no private frontage means it never feels full; the north end near the lake is often nearly empty.
Sunsets with a drink
COAST Beach Club at the north end and TANN Beach Club at the south serve sunset drinks on the sand; TANN adds a fire show at 19:00.
An evening promenade
The pavement from the south end towards Karon Circle has become a promenade lined with restaurants and bars facing the beach.
Temple market twice a week
The Karon Temple Market fills the grounds of Wat Karon with street food and stalls on Tuesdays and Fridays.
在Karon Beach下水之前
Swim when the flags allow
Check the flag before you go in, and stay on the sand when it shows no swimming.
Big waves in the low season
The beach is open to the sea, and big waves roll in from May to October; that is the time for walks and surf rather than swimming.
Jet skis and parasailing
Jet skis and parasail boats work off the central beach in high season; swim away from their lanes.
Little shade
There are fewer trees than at Kata; bring shade or rent an umbrella, and drink plenty of water.

Only the Centara Grand and the adults-only Beyond Karon stand directly on the sand; most resorts, including the Hilton Arcadia and Paradox, are across the beach road, a short flat walk from the water. Cheaper guesthouses cluster around Karon Centre and Patak Road, and hillside resorts such as Pacific Club look over the bay.

- Bring shade: there are fewer trees than at Kata.
- Dino Park Mini Golf at the Kata end.
- The Centara Grand's water park for resort guests.
- The Temple Market on Tuesday and Friday evenings.

Karon Beach小贴士
Go north for space
Most visitors stay in the middle or south; the north end near the lake is often almost empty.
Listen to the sand
Walk barefoot on dry sand in the afternoon to hear it squeak.
Check the flag
Swim only when the flag allows; from May to October the sea is often too rough.
Dine along the promenade
Walk from the south end towards Karon Circle in the evening; the beach-view restaurants beat those on Patak Road.
Plan around the temple market
The Karon Temple Market runs only on Tuesdays and Fridays, 16:00 to 22:00.
Skip parking on Patak Road
Parking in Karon Centre is almost impossible; walk, ride a scooter or take a taxi.
Bargain at the bazaar
At Karon Bazaar, prices start high; meet in the middle, and go late in the day when it is cooler.
