'''Karon Beach''' ({{langx|th|หาดกะรน}}, {{RTGS|''Hat Karon''}}, {{IPA|th|hàːt kā.rōn|pron}}) refers to a beach, and the town adjoining it, on the west coast of [[Phuket Province|Phuket]], [[Thailand]]. It is considered as the second longest beach in the province.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chuenniran |first1=Achadthaya |title=Big cleanup of Karon beach sought |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2843363/big-cleanup-of-karon-beach-sought |access-date=12 June 2025 |work=Bangkok Post |date=8 August 2024 |language=en}}</ref><br />

The beach is a popular destination for [[tourist]]s. Generally quieter than neighbouring [[Patong]], it is popular with families and couples. It is also especially popular with [[Scandinavia]]n tourists, with many businesses catering especially to them.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Karon Beach was heavily damaged by the [[tsunami]]s following the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake]], especially in its southern regions, but has since largely recovered and by 2008 showed little evidence of tsunami damage.<br />
