You can also explore Wat Nai Harn the Buddhist Temple which is an oasis of tranquillity.
The third-largest beach on the Phuket island, Karon boasts a 4 km stretch of golden sand to have your feet sink into, crystal clear water and ample space for beachside relaxation. In comparison to Nai Harn beach, this beach is much larger and more crowded though it is not felt that way due to the extent of the beach. Most visitors from hotels such as Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas plan to do dual attractions of the beach as well as the Karon viewpoint offering an awe-inspiring view from the top.
This stunning beach stands out due to its crescent shape and is popular due to the many offerings available to those who want to have a good time.
