The tiny island north of Phi Phi Don attracts tourists with its white sand, incredibly clear water and fascinating underwater life. Within accessible distance of the main beach are two coral reefs that, although badly damaged, still offer views of beautiful underwater life. Here you can see clownfish or blacktip sharks.
