About Laem Ka Beach
Laem Ka Beach is a small sandy beach in Rawai Subdistrict, Mueang Phuket District, on the southeastern tip of Phuket Island, Thailand. Facing the Andaman Sea, it overlooks nearby islands such as Koh Lone and Koh Bon. Known for its quiet atmosphere, clear shallow water and palm-fringed shoreline, the beach is less developed than major tourist beaches and is popular with local visitors seeking a calm, scenic coastal setting.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, relatively quiet sandy beach with clear, shallow water and views across to Koh Lone and Koh Bon. The shoreline is fringed with palm and casuarina trees, with some rocky sections at the ends of the bay. The beach is not heavily developed, with limited vendors directly on the sand but seafood restaurants and resorts nearby. It is suitable for relaxing, wading, swimming in calm conditions, photography and enjoying sunset views in a low-key local setting.
