Kata Beach

Kata Beach is the smallest of Phuket's three main tourist beaches. Kata is different in appearance and style from Karon or Patong. The beach itself is broad and curving and structures bordering it are low rised. The Club Med Complex lies just behind this scenic beach. This is the beach of choice if you are swimming with small children because it remains shallow for about thirty meters from the shorelineand at the north end is a coral reef with many varied corals and fishes which stretches out toward Koh Poo, the small island off the north end, has a lively coral reef that is excellent for swimming and snorkeling.
