Just a couple of minutes away from Karon beach and not far from Patong beach, you will find the spectacular bay of Kata. It attracts a lot of tourists with its white sand as well as its clear, blue waters. It is also the favorite destination of families. It offers a beautiful palm-lined one mile beach, lively but not rowdy nightlife, great restaurants and a wide range of accommodation options, which are all near the beach.

Kata has two focal areas. The first would be Kata Center, located at the north portion and the second would be Kata south, home to several great beach resorts.

From the month of November to April, the sea is calm, warm and turquoise in color; but during the months of May through October, you can expect slightly rougher swimming conditions which could be best for surfing.

Along the southern area of the beach, there are many restaurants that serve fresh seafood and other delicious Thai and European dishes. There are also beach vendors that sell sandwiches, pizzas and other snacks.

Kata beach is also a great place where you can do various water sports and activities such as jet-skiing, kayaking and parasailing. Wakeboarding and waterskiing is also popular, along with snorkeling, surfing and banana boat rides.
