Karon Viewpoint

Karon Viewpoint, known in Thai as Kho Sam Haad, translates to 'The Hill of the Three Beaches.' When you visit, you'll instantly understand why. This spot offers a breathtaking panorama of three stunning beaches. If you're new to Phuket, you'll likely find yourself pausing for a few moments at this well-loved scenic spot to take in the sweeping views from the hilltop. From here, you can gaze out over three glorious bays.

The nearest and smallest is Kata Noi Beach. A bit further out is the picturesque Kata Beach, complete with its charming little island, Koh Poo, meaning Crab Island. In the distance, you'll see the expansive stretch of Karon Beach.

Situated conveniently along the route to the famous Promthep Cape, Karon Viewpoint is a must-stop for travelers snapping selfies on their journey to Nai Harn. Some folks linger a bit longer, savoring cool drinks or snacks from the tiny shops just a few steps away, while others relax in the shade of the gazebo. You might even strike up a conversation with the friendly reggae guy, a local character known for selling handmade necklaces and accessories. For those seeking a bit of extra adventure, consider visiting during the golden hour when the setting sun casts a magical glow over the beaches. It's a perfect time for photography enthusiasts to capture the stunning landscape. Plus, if you're a fan of wildlife, keep an eye out for the colorful birds that often flit around the area, adding another layer of beauty to this already picturesque spot.
