Near the southern tip of Phuket, this crescent shaped bay is less than ideal for swimming or sunbathing due to the muddy beach and active pier at which yachts, sailboats and ferries often dock going to and from the surrounding islands like Ko He and Ko Racha Yai. There are plenty of facilities here for tourists though, including a range of accommodation, dining options, shops, rental vehicles and tour companies offering tickets and excursions both on land and at sea.
