We find this beach our second favourite after Nai Harn beach. Here is not crowded, blue water, big pine trees right at the beach, beach itself is long so everyone can find a quiet place. There are also several nice restaurants nearby, we ate several time at Sunprime hotel restaurant.

If you like dirty beaches, that are packed with rude arrogant Russian tourists who think nothing of literally sitting right next you on the beach (I mean 30cms away) then this is the place for you. The beach itself is quite nice except there must be a million ciggy butts on the beach from lazy tourists and locals alike which we observed.

Go elsewhere, Bang Tao or Suring are much nicer, cleaner and less crowded.

This is a very nice place, and the people are extremely friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed being there, and was only sorry, that i had to go back home again. :o)

Lovely place with great atmosphere. However all that was ruined when I went for a walk along the beach and saw the outflow of black sewage water running into the ocean. That certainly canelled all plans of going for a morning swim. Very sad to see and to me it completely ruins the place which otherwise has a lot going for it.

This beach is beautiful, golden sand & blue water. So so clean.
We only had to walk a few meters and we felt we were on a private beach.

I enjoyed my 2 night stay right on the beach. The location was great, with many dining options right along a paved path fronting the beach. Service from street vendors was unfailingly friendly. The beach here is kept clean. If you are thinking of staying here, I would recommend staying on the middle or Northern end of the beach (from the middle near Freedom bar/restaurant to the Northern end where the Novotel hotel is) because, IMO, the quality of the beach itself is nicer in this region. Many rocks, etc. are exposed at the Southern end of the beach during low tide. The water quality at Kamala Beach is clear, minmal shells that you might step on, and the waves are gentle. My experience was that this was a great place to stay or even to come for a day visit.
