Kata Beach

Why go

Kata Beach is the northern of the two beaches at Kata, in Karon subdistrict on Phuket island. Karon Subdistrict Municipality's page describes Hat Kata as a crescent-shaped beach with the islet of Ko Pu (เกาะปู) in front of it as its symbol, divided into two beaches, Kata Yai and Kata Noi, with coral reef running out to Ko Pu and the shore shaded by screw pines and casuarinas. This record is Kata Yai; Kata Noi, south of it, has its own municipal page and Wikidata item and is not part of this record, while Wikidata's 'Hat Kata' covers both, so it is cited as related, not as the same thing. The map pin is a point at the back edge of the sand standing for the whole beach.
