Karon Beach (Haad Ka Ron) is 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 walk on. The southern point
has a find coral reef stretching toward Kata Beach and
Poo Island. 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. The narrow
road between Kata and Karon has a number of small businesses
as well as the Dino Park Mini Golf facility. Karon Beach
is the most up-scale of Phukt's beaches. Regular daytime
buses (Songthaew) service to and from Phuket Town.
