Long, lovely Karon Beach grows more and more popular with each passing season. The development is spread out along the 1.5 kilometres of beach and, even at the height of the season, it's possible to have a swatch of sand all to yourself. Karon has a range of accommodations and services comparable to Patong, but on a much smaller scale, making it a hit with families and anyone trying to avoid the crowds.
The beach is very exposed and the sand much coarser than on other Phuket Beaches (except Mai Khao to the far north) but, in the high season, it's terrific for swimming. Other than the portable man-made variety, there's very little shade on the beach. You can either give in and pay whatever the guy renting chairs and umbrellas is asking (do not pay more than 200B for a full day) or slather on litres of sunscreen.
