Kalim Beach, just north of Patong in Phuket, is known for surfing in the monsoon season and for its rock formations. It is not a good beach for swimming, but it is a pleasant place to try local street food or have dinner in the evening.
Surfing at Kalim Beach
Kalim Beach is just north of Patong Beach and is popular for surfing during the low season, when the monsoon brings the waves. That is also when rip currents are strongest: obey the red flags, and only go out if you are an experienced surfer and surfing is allowed.
