“Poda Island features powdery white sand, crystal-clear waters, and scenic limestone cliffs. Perfect for relaxing, photo taking, snorkeling, and swimming.”
Poda Island is part of Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, located just about 8 km from Ao Nang beach. This small island is renowned for its stunning white sandy beach and shallow coral reef areas that make it ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
A unique highlight is the tall limestone rock emerging from the sea in front of the beach—perfect as a photo backdrop. During low tide, visitors can walk along the beach around the island and enjoy sunbathing or a picnic.
The island has basic facilities like restrooms and small food stalls that operate during the day. Visitors should bring essentials and help preserve the island's cleanliness.
