Relax, take a walk along the soft sands, snorkel or swim. It's long been a popular spot for surfers in the monsoon season of May to October, though swimming can be dangerous during this period.
The popular Kata Viewpoint, offering a stunning vista across the three bays of Karon, Kata and Kata Noi, is only a 5-minute drive along a winding road towards Nai Harn.
From this scenic vista you can watch the emerald green waters of the bay change to shades of blue and indigo as they pass over the coral reefs. Just across the street a number of fruit and soft drink venders set up everyday, and provide a good place to sample some local fruit or enjoy a cool drink.

Five minutes south of Patong Beach, as you climb the hill you will see a large hotel complex on your right. This is a good place to pull off to the side of the road for a minute and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, access to this beach is blocked by the Le Meridien Phuket, this beach can only be reached by boat from Patong.
There is no official lookout point here, just a few chairs and an abandoned roadside restaurant, but it is a great place to watch the white bellied sea eagles feed early in the morning. They soar the sky in a circular pattern making a dramatic dive into the sea and taking flight with fish on their talons for breakfast. While watching the birds, its a great place to appreciate the gentle breeze, the magnificent view, the stunning hues of blues and greens all framed with a white sandy beach, and the lazy white clouds as they roll silently past. You can feel and breathe the beauty of Phuket. That is what draws people to visit here, and what brings them back time and again. Unbelievable as it may seem it only gets better as you continue to the south.
