Kamala Beach

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Kamala beach is, in my opinion, Phuket's #1 family beach, and there are several reasons for that. One of the main reasons is that swimming from the beach is very safe, also for children. There are no dangerous currents. The waves are not as big and wild as you can experience on other beaches. And... People often mention beach, swimming,

    Kamala beach is, in my opinion, Phuket's #1 family beach, and there are several reasons for that. One of the main reasons is that swimming from the beach is very safe, also for children. There are no dangerous currents. The waves are not as big and wild as you can experience on other beaches. And there is a large area in the water that is shielded with ropes so you can swim in peace without worrying about Jet Ski and other boats. And of course, there are lifeguards. The beach is also quieter and quieter than many other beaches. And the beach is very popular with families with children.

    Kamala is one of the beach more visited. It has facilities as chairs entire day for only 100 THB, the guys who works there are very kind and you can order drink and food through them. The beach is quite big so you will have always your space to swimming and enjoy the beauty sorround. During the day or in the night can enjoy the Thai food restaurants, are very simple but the food is amazing and again the price are not fancy. the places are clean and higyienic.

    Little over crowded everything is for a cost. You can’t sit one second without someone charging you for something. Beach is beautiful I just like to be left alone sometimes to enjoy the view and not keep spending money every second

    It's a beautiful beach to chill and swim. There are many shacks who rent out sun beds, so you can relax and have a good swim here.

    Beautiful beach on the west coast in Phuket. Not so many people like in Patong. A lot of good restaurants directly on the beach. Great beach to enjoy swimming, relaxing the sunset. Chairs & tables are free when you order a drink. Beer mostly between 60-80฿ Great! On Patong Beach 100-120฿ for a beer & pay extra 100฿ for a chair. Crazy!

    Long stretched beach with a walkpath at the beach. No cars or motorcycles so nice and quite. Also many many food or drink stalls and also many restaurants all along the beach. Renting a set of sunbeds+parasol costs 200 bath a day. The seawater has sandybottom so snorkeling is not much here 😉

    This beach is more lively than Surin beach. Nice palm trees and walking path behind the sandy area. Restaurants along the way. Big waves though in august.

    My favourite Phuket beach and possibly one of my favourites world wide. Lovely scenery and nice atmosphere. Sadly like every touristy place starting to get a bit littered and lots of sales people around, but still a lovely place to be

    Beautiful bay and beach. Gorgeous sunsets 🌅

  • 5/5 Javier A. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beautiful place! The colours of the water is breathtaking. Very gentle waves, no good for surfers but ideal for toddlers!

  • 4/5 Steve R. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely long stretch of beach . Ideal for paddle boarding and lazy swimming . If your there all day there is a great row of value restaurants just by the street entrance

    Fruit n smoothies served everywhere along the beach to chill the day. A beautiful beach with gentle and cheerful Thais.... A perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun.

    Cool looking beach, but too many tourists for my taste. We were just visiting Kamala for few hours.

    Average beach. sand quality is ok. appears to be a lot of trash mixed in with the sand. couple local places offering parasailing, jet skis, water skiing, umbrellas and lounge chairs for rent. bunch of huts offering food, drinks and knick knacks. average beach as far as beaches go. by midday it was busy but not crowded. appears there is a effluent, grey water lagoon emptying into the sea. water is very murky and full of algae. don’t recommend swimming here.
