Karon Beach Guide

The soft golden Karon Beach stretches four kilometres and is popular with sunbathers and water sports fans with parasailing and jet-skis available.

Snorkelling is enjoyed at the rocky southern end and during low season the waters are home to local surfers riding the waves. Thanks to the sand dunes, small waterway and road, Karon Beach is set away from the hotels and restaurants giving it a nice private feeling. On occasion, the beautiful wide beach is also a favoured venue for sports tournaments and live concerts. At either end of the Karon Beach road there are lively centres for shopping, dining and nightlife.
