Kata Beach in Phuket is one of the most pleasant beaches to be on during your Phuket trip. Compared to the more famous Patong Beach, Kata Beach is a much more family-friendly location that you can comfortably bring even the young ones. This beach is also located right next to one of Phuket’s best beach resorts, Club Med Phuket! Let’s learn a little more of what is at and around Phuket’s Kata Beach.

There’s quite a number of activities you can do on the beach itself. If you’re a water sports enthusiast, you will enjoy snorkelling, diving, stand-up paddling, surfing, and kayaking in the beach waters have a splashing fun time. Being a well-maintained beach, you would also enjoy just taking aesthetic shots on the beach, and let the kids in your holiday party have fun playing with the sand or swim in warm, inviting waters.

But don’t worry if you’re not much of a water person, or want more variety in what you can do near Kata. Leave your Phuket beach resort behind and explore local offerings at Kata town like Muay Thai classes, Thai cooking classes, as well as the local daily night market. You can also visit Wat Kitti Sangkharam, a local Buddhist temple located on the eastern end of Kata. This temple’s history goes as far back as 1832 and has gorgeous, bright infrastructure that is a sight to behold. Of course, you can also visit the more serene Kata Noi Beach for quieter reflection time.
