Central Karon Beach
South Karon
At the northern end of Karon, just off the beach, there are a number of mid priced hotels and guesthouses clustered around the roundabout and on Patak Rd running back off the beach. As long as you don't mind a short walk to the water, this is quite a good area as it's also close to the night market, scads of bars, and plenty of restaurants.

Almost midway down Karon Beach, Luang Pho Chuan Rd runs back, perpendicular to the beach until it hits Patak Rd around one kilometre away. Running off Luang Phu Chuan Rd to the north and south are a bunch of sois and sub-sois which are busy with cheapish guesthouses and hotels. There's also a couple of upmarket digs in the same area. Note that with the exception of Phuket Orchid Resort, everything here is well off the beach.

In and around the rocky headland on the southern stretch of Karon Beach, you'll find a collection of dive shops and pricey, luxury resorts, but not a lot else. You're a long way from the action further up Karon Beach come dinner time -- so far in fact you'll find it far faster and more convenient to pop over the hill to Kata from here. One advantage of staying down this end of the beach is that the snorkelling is pretty good when the water is calm.
