Stop 8

The next stop is at the stunning Aow Leuk Bay which is named for its deep, concave shape as well as the depth of the water which makes it good for snorkelling even at very low tide. With the white sandy beach, a coral reef on both sides of the bay and the water varying shades of blue, Aow Leuk is one of the most popular sites for snorkelling.

On the way to Shark Bay you will pass by Buddha Rock, a group of boulders creating an almost human-like shape and resembles a male in a sitting position. Hin Yaai Mae is the female. Both are believed to be ‘spirit rocks’ and are treated with respect by the local population.

Shark Bay is a private bay with a beautiful beach of fine white sand, shaded by tall coconut trees and Pemphis Acidula. It's a quiet place to come and relax, and got its name from the blacktip reef sharks that frequent here.
