Karon beach is truly a picturesque paradise. The abundance of shade makes it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the stunning sea and sand. This beach stretches for miles, yet it never feels overcrowded, allowing for a peaceful and serene experience. The sand is a mesmerizing shade of yellow, almost resembling gold, and adds to the overall charm of the beach. Access to the beach is simple, and parking is always available. Additionally, beach volleyball enthusiasts can enjoy a designated area for their favorite game.
