A small rocky beach at the northern end of Patong Bay, Kalim is much quieter than its bustling neighbor. Due to the reefs and rocks that characterize the area, the beach only has a few areas that are suitable for swimming. However, during the rainy season, Kalim is one of the best surf spots on the island.
Amenities in the Kalim area tend towards high-end restaurants and cafes, some right on the beach. However, for a wider range of dining options as well as shopping and nightlife, Patong is less than 5 minutes drive.
