“Scale-covered reefs around Maya Bay.”

Scenic coves on the island's western and South-eastern shores, are favourite stops for day-tripping snorkelers. Although once pristine, the corals at these coves have been marred by bad anchoring and the beaches littered with rubbish jettisoned by people on tour boats. In 1999, a Hollywood film company spent about two months shooting scenes for the motion picture "the Beach".


  • You can only visit Maya Bay from November to April, as large waves make the entrance dangerous for boats during the other months of the year.
