Kata Beach: The smallest of Phuket's three main tourist beaches, Kata is different in appearance and style from Karon beach or Patong beach. Kata is divided into Kata Yai and Kata Noi. Both beaches offer stunning scenery and a relaxed atmosphere.Kata Yai Beach: This is the larger of the two beaches. The bay is very picturesque with Koh Pu (Pu Island) at the northern end. Half of the beach is bordered by a road, while the southern half has a few resorts right on the beach.The sea here is safer than Karon beach in the rainy season, although you should check for red warning flags. There is a fair amount of development, especially behind the beach between Kata Yai and Kata Noi, with bars, restaurants and souvenir shops. Kata beach is perhaps the best compromise between the hectic pace of Patong beach and some of the quieter beaches on Phuket island. Kata Noi Beach: Kata Noi only has a few hotels and is dominated by the Kata Thani Hotel. The beach is lovely and there has only been a little development.To get there take the narrow beach road up over the hill from Kata 
Karon Beach: Karon Beach is one of Phuket's longest beach. Although there are a few large resorts and hotels, they are spread out and the area feels very relaxed. As in Patong beach, the hotels are separated from the beach by a road. However, unlike Patong, the beach is always fairly quiet. The sand is very white, and squeaks audibly when walked on. The southern point has a fine coral reef stretching toward Kata and Poo Island. The narrow road between Kata beach and Karon beach has a number of small businesses as well as the Dino Park Mini Golf facility. Restaurants, bars, tour companies and other non-hotel businesses are at the north end, near the traffic circle, and at the south, on the little road connecting the back road with the beach road. Regular daytime bus service to and from Phuket Town.
Bangtao Beach: Bang Tao is a large open bay with one of Phuket's longest beaches. The 8km long beach never feels crowded, especially at its northern end.The Laguna Phuket complex, containing five luxury hotels and an 18-hole golf course, dominates a large area.The nearby town of Cherng Talay has a few shops as well as a fresh market. Canal Village within Laguna Phuket comprises about 30 shops, mostly selling handicrafts and clothing items.There is an huge array of facilities available at the Laguna Resort available to guests staying at any of the five hotels
