- Sunrise Beach
The best snorkeling is around 2 tiny island just off Sunrise Beach: Koh Kra (in front of the school) and Koh Usen (in front of Idyllic Resort). Sunrise Beach is shallow until you reach the small islands where there is a big drop off. Because of the deeper water surrounding the two small islands you will be able to see a large variety of marine life. In general there is great snorkeling everywhere on Sunrise Beach. At low tide the best place to snorkel will be on the far north side of Sunrise Beach (in front of Mountain Resort). Here the water never gets really shallow and you will find some great snorkeling even in low tide.
The best time to go is at high tide, as the coral can be very shallow. It's also advisable to wear fins because the currents can be quite strong.
There are several places on Sunrise Beach where you can rent mask and fins for price around 50 THB per part.
