Beach description
The length of the beach is about 2 km, and the width of the coastline is the average is 20 meters. At high tide beach strip it becomes narrow just a couple of meters, and at low tide it can reach to 100. The beach is basically clean. Sand is yellow-white.

Another negative point are large meter stones, lurking under water, so bathing people should be very careful. However in this is a definite plus.

Therefore, in such The season is very popular scuba diving, in order to gawk at this beauty Whereas in the north the entrance to the water is smooth, with a small slope. The bottom is rocky, consisting of small and sharp stones, therefore it is advisable to enter the water in slaps in order to avoid injuries.
Sun beds and shade
Unfortunately, only a small part is suitable for human bathing. beach, which is directly adjacent to Patong. In a natural way there are umbrellas spread over the sun beds that have gouged the beach. Sand there has a yellow tint, and the bottom of the sea is sandy, with rare patches small stones. The north of the beach is devoid of these beach items. There are no sun beds, no umbrellas, not even trees that can cover shadow from the scorching sun people.
In the summer, the beach begins the season of tropical winds and rains that leads to high and scary waves in the coastal zone. Accordingly, it attracts lovers of outdoor activities and surfers. Although during a storm to swim, and just go to water is not recommended.
