It is a popular spot for snorkelling on the north coast due to the extensive living coral reef that protects the bay from the incoming seas coupled with the fact that it is the last beach that has coral before the conditions change further round the coast and become unfavourable for such sea life.It’s a tiny cove dramatically tucked in under the headland to the east, with a secluded strip of white sand and some very interesting coral reefs.

Local dive schools from Chaloklum and snorkelling boat trips often use the area due to its proximity, outstanding beauty and great variety of different corals.

Due to the presence of the reef, swimming is still effected by the tides here, and in the lower tidal season, (March to November) you will have to wait until the daily high tide arrives if you want to swim out and over the reef to see the brilliant Day-Glo underwater world that surrounds the South-Westerly and Northern coasts of the island. As the beach faces the North, it isn't possible to see either sunset or sunrise.

The dirt road from Ao Chaloklum is badly rutted in places and is hard to tackle on a moped unless you are an experienced rider, better on a dirt bike or a 4WD vehicle, or you can take a boat taxi from Ao Chaloklum. Within 20 minutes walk from the conveniences of Chaloklum village.
