Patong Beach is Phuket’s most famous resort, known for its raucous nightlife and for the 1.77-mile-long beach that runs the length of the town. Though usually crowded, the beach has soft, white sand and crystal clear blue water that definitely make it worthwhile to visit. Plus, you can find quieter areas further north or south along the beach. Some of the most popular activities on Patong Beach are jet skiing, parasailing, and snorkeling, and you can easily rent equipment. There is also a range of accommodation options for every budget, whether you want something affordable in the heart of the action or a more upscale resort in a quieter but still accessible area. Patong Beach generally draws a younger crowd, but there is plenty for couples and families to do as well, making it one of the most popular places to visit in Phuket.
