The beach itself is broad and curving, and structures bordering it are low rise. Facilities for every price range include hotels, bungalows, tour companies, restaurants, bars and clubs. There is regular bus service to and from Phuket town during daytime. Kata Noi Beach South of Kata is Kata Noi, a smaller beach with only a few hotels and little other development. The beach is superb.
Many fish inhabit the rocks and corals along the beachless shoreline stretching south.
To get there take the narrow beach road up over the hill from Kata. The second largest of Phuket's principal tourist beaches. Large resort complexes line the road back of the beach, but the strand itself, long and broad, has no development. 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.
