Phuket is famous for its beaches, and Kata Beach is a beautiful one to visit. Restaurants can be found along the beach as well as shops renting surfboards, chairs, and other items for beach-goers. We found transportation around Phuket to be somewhat difficult because the most convenient option are taxis, which are quiet expensive, but we were lucky to find a bus from Old Phuket that goes to Karon and Kata beach for only 40baht per person.
