Kamala Beach
A beautiful and serene beach, Kamala is perfect for those seeking a relaxed and casual beach.
Kamala is about 10 minutes north of Patong and a great place for those who are away from the hustle and bustle. The south end of this beautiful bay has a coral reef a few meters offshore. Kamala is not too developed, although there are some guesthouses and a few resorts.
It is a good selection of Thai restaurants, noodle shops and some restaurants in the West. The locals are mostly ethnic Malays, and there are some good restaurants with delicious dishes Muslim (it's really good indeed, let's try!)
Kamala is a good place for water sports. A number of dive shops can be found in the village. The reef at the southern end is a nice place for diving and water is wonderful for swimming during the dry
season. However, as the beach drops steeply to the sea, the currents can be very dangerous during the rainy season (please be careful). The north end of the beach can be a decent surf spot when its working.
The main attraction at Kamala, Phuket Fantasea is where you can enjoy a buffet and an evening of lively cultural entertainment.
Some decent bars along Beach Road will be found, as it winds inland. The atmosphere is very cool and relaxed in contrast to the bustle of Patong. There is also a dash of beer bars (I like it) along the main road.
