KAMALA OVERVIEW
The long, sweeping Kamala Beach is a quiet breath of fresh air. Lined by casuarinas at its northern end, Kamala makes for fine swimming and it's easy to find your own patch of sand. During the short wet season don't be surprised to find the locals and the occasional tourist trying to fit in a bit of surfing here.
Kamala feels much more like a little Thai village than other towns on Phuket. It still has the standard touristy stuff, but you don't need to walk far to find a fairly unaffected place.
Most of the development is at the southern end of the beach, where a handful of restaurants, cheapish guesthouses and a couple of mid-range hotels pull the smallish crowds. The northern end is pretty much undeveloped. During high season, water sports take up a lot of space here with windsurfing, waterskiing, banana boats, fishing trips and island hopping all running on a daily basis.
Kamala Beach was badly damaged by the 2004 Asian Tsunami, the majority of the beach-side budget guesthouses were destroyed and the recovery process has been slower on Kamala than elsewhere on Phuket. But there is a good bit of expansion and development going on, and some places that got tired of waiting for government cheques have finally gone ahead with rebuilding on their own dime.
