Karon
Beach
 Karon
Beach is the second largest of Phuket's principal tourist
beaches. The slightly curving beach is long, broad, and not
very shady. The southern end has a fine coral reef stretching
around the small headland into Kata Yai and Pu Island.
 Karon
has been developed with a number of mid-range resorts, most
set well back from the shore. Escalating construction of beer
bars, nightclubs and discos, as well as new high-rise hotels,
tarnishes Karon's once proud reputation for environmental
consciousness, and as a haven for families and couples who
wanted nothing more than to relax on the beach and eat Phuket
lobster. But it still has a slower pace than Patong, and local
fishermen still cast their nets in a charming lagoon at the
north end of the beach.
