  • Wave protection: A wide bay: in high season the sea is calm; in the rainy season waves and rip currents arrive — swim between the flags; lifeguards are on duty on the beach.
  • Tide impact: The beach is deep — low tide hardly affects swimming, and you can swim throughout the day.
  • Getting in and seabed: Sandy bottom, it gets deeper at a moderate pace — you can swim all day. Stay within the marked swimming zones: jet skis and speedboats operate in the bay.
  • Who it suits: For those who want the buzz, water sports and everything within reach; if you prefer quiet, pick one of the neighbouring bays.
  • Getting to Patong Beach: The centre of the west coast and the island's main tourist hub. Behind the sand are Bangla Road with its nightlife and the Jungceylon shopping mall. on the map
