Karon Bay beach in Phuket beach bar, restaurant deck and Andaman sea
A very popular tourist destination with visitors from around the world, the holiday resorts of Phuket offer fantastic weather all year round, glorious sandy beaches and a busy yet affordable lifestyle and nightlife with something for everyone to enjoy.
This webcam view comes from the beachfront at Karon Bay beach, one of the most picturesque and popular beaches on the island, and many would say in the world.
Karon Beach refers to a beach, and the town adjoining it, on the western coast of Phuket, Thailand.
The beach is a popular destination for tourists. Generally quieter than neighbouring Patong Beach, it is especially popular among families and couples, and less popular with singles than Patong. It is also especially popular with Scandinavian tourists, with many businesses catering especially to them.
Karon Beach was heavily damaged by the tsunamis following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, especially in its southern regions, but has since largely recovered and by 2008 showed little evidence of tsunami damage.
