  • Wave protection: The bay is partly sheltered by headlands: in the dry season the sea is calm and suits swimming with children; in the monsoon the waves are noticeable and rip currents occur.
  • Tide impact: Moderate impact: at low tide it gets shallow and rocks are exposed at the northern end, but you can usually still swim.
  • Getting in and seabed: Sandy bottom with a moderate slope; rocks are exposed at the northern end at low tide. In the dry season the water is calm — easy to go in with children.
  • Who it suits: A calm family beach: an unhurried pace, cafés by the shore, noticeably quieter than neighbouring Patong. Popular with long-stay visitors and families with children.
  • Getting to Kamala Beach: North of Patong over the hill. Nearby are the Phuket FantaSea show and Cafe del Mar; north beyond the headland is the Laem Singh viewpoint. on the map
