Kata is actually two beaches separated by a rocky headland.
Kata Noi to the South is generally quieter and is dominated by the Kata Thani Resort although more local restaurants are available. Anchor in 8 to 10 metres. Kata Beach itself is far livelier and has lots of restaurants and bars. Anchor towards the Southern side of the bay to avoid the small reef just off the beach at the North end. Good holding can be found in 7 to 10 metres. Among the many favorites ashore are the 5 star Kata beach resort, home of the Kings cup regatta and Mom Tri’s boathouse just next door. Take your dinghy ashore in the very Southern corner to avoid any swell. In the corner is the simple but good “Kata Seafood”. The main town of Kata is a short walk from the North end of the beach. Not suitable in the Southwest season
