Phuket’s Karon Beach is its second-largest beach with a three-kilometre length. The whole beach is open to the public, unlike some others where certain parts can only be accessed by guests at resorts occupying that stretch. The beach has pristine sands and blue waters, making it a very photogenic location. Its larger size helps in accommodating larger crowds without the beach seeming too busy. Karon Beach is about 20 kilometres from Phuket Town, and 8 kilometres from Patong Beach. In fact, Karon is situated right between the two busiest beaches, Kata Beach and Patong Beach.
