Karon Beach, 3-kilometer beach in Phuket, Thailand
White sand extends along the curved coastline of the Andaman Sea, with tall palms providing natural shade for beachgoers.
The development of Karon Beach started in the 1980s when Phuket emerged as an international tourist destination in Southeast Asia.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices during early morning hours, launching wooden boats directly from the beach.
Visitors access the beach through multiple entry points along the beachfront road, with parking areas and public facilities near Temple Road.
The sand produces a squeaking sound when walked upon due to its specific composition of densely packed quartz particles.
