Phuket\u2019s Kata Beach for Family Funcations<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Often referred to as Phuket<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s Surfer<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s Paradise, Kata<\/a> Beach is a beautiful stretch of white sand fringed by coconut palms. During the green season, the beach is a popular spot as the Andaman Sea lashes the shore with waves perfect for surfing. The local <\/span>neighbourhood<\/span> is both laid-back and lively in equal parts. There’s a range of street food vendors, restaurants, cafes and shopping destinations to explore, plus a large variety of activities for groups of friends and families to participate in. Kata Beach is a wonderful destination for those looking for a relaxing, yet luxurious, beach<\/a> holiday in Phuket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leatherback Sea Turtles Return to Kata Beach <\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps as a good omen for the start of 2021, leatherback sea turtles have returned to Kata Beach for the first time in decades. In the early morning hours of 1<\/span>st<\/span> January, a massive leatherback turtle came ashore to lay her eggs at Kata Beach. The event has been met with great enthusiasm from people all over the island and rekindled the hope that Kata Beach can be a safe haven for sea turtles once again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the area where the leatherback turtle laid her eggs on Kata Beach has been cordoned off, and volunteer monitor the site around the clock. A few <\/span>colourful<\/span> turtle sculptures have been crafted from recyclable materials, and a mini turtle conservation <\/span>centre<\/span> has been erected to educate visitors, especially children, on the importance of turtle conservation.<\/span><\/p>\n

After visiting Kata Beach, families interested in learning more about turtle conservation in Phuket can visit the <\/span>Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
