Kata Noi, Phuket
Kata Noi Beach is located in a striking but small bay, which is perfect for those who want to be near the action of the famous Kata Beach but don’t want to live among tourists that frequent the area. The beach is a wide stretch of white sand and vivid blue ocean. Since this beach is a bit out of the way from where most people who visit tend to go, it’s a relatively quiet place that will be easy to recognize any regulars, therefore could be a great place to get to know your neighbors. The beach area has all of the conveniences necessary so you don’t have to travel too far to find a convenience store, a massage parlor or even a few bars. If you happen to be a surfer, Kata Noi would be a great place to look for a property as well, regardless of your skill level. The northern side of the stretch is a popular place for surfers who want consistently good waves as well as for beginners who want a safe place to practice learning.
