The nice viewpoint over the 3 beaches is on the street from Kata Noi to Rawai. Kata Beach  The smallest of Phuket's three main tourist beaches, Kata is different in appearance and style from Karon or Patong. The beach itself is broad and curving, and structures bordering it are low–rise. The waters are perfect for swimming, and at the north end is a coral reef with many varied  corals and fishes which stretches out toward Poo Island., about 1/2 km off  shore. Facilities for every price range include hotels, bungalows, tour companies, restaurants, bars and clubs. There is regular bus service to and from  Phuket town during daytime. Kata Noi Beach  South of Kata is Kata Noi, a smaller beach with  only a few hotels and little other development. The beach is superb. Many fish  inhabit the rocks and corals along the beachless shoreline stretching south. To get there take the narrow beach road up over the hill from Kata.
