Kamala Beach

The Beach
Kamala Beach is a beautiful long stretch of beach that's pretty deserted, even in high season. The main reason it's deserted is there aren't the same high numbers of tourists in Kamala as some other places so there's plenty of space. A day spent on the beach is truly a lazy day, not too many distractions......perfect. May to October the waves at the north end of the beach attract surfers.

Surf
Kamala beach in-spite of this has a very relaxed atmosphere. It is a popular rental area for people who are staying a few months or more on the island. Budget Kamala guesthouses and restaurants. If you take the first left turn at the bottom of the hill, coming from Patong, you will come to a small bridge continue to the left and you will find two isolated small beaches opposite Kamala Bay Terrace Resort, no surf here, but a good place to relax and do a bit of snorkelling and it overlooks all of Kamala's surf spots. Further out to the headland you can see a surfing point break which works on a mid-tide, on a swell over 1 metre. Surf between the island and the headland.

Jet-Skiing
If you follow the dictates of common sense and the rules that are summarized below, you should have a good and safe time with these unique and exciting watercraft. The first thing to remember is that Jet Skis can be legally operated at only five beaches in Phuket: Patong, Karon, Kata, Kamala, and Bangtao. This shouldn't be an inconvenience for anyone as these are the most popular beaches on the island. Even if someone has what looks like a Jet Ski concession at another beach, don't rent from them. You risk a substantial fine and possible imprisonment.
