Kamala is a beach and town on the west coast of Phuket and one of the island's major tourist attractions. It lies about 8 km north of Patong and about 45 minutes by car from Phuket Airport. The beach is a long, curving sandy stretch of about 3 km with a usually quiet atmosphere. Kamala suffered severe damage when the tsunami caused by the Indian Ocean earthquake struck Phuket's west coast on 26 December 2004.
