Paradise Beach Snorkel (Patong south)
7° 53.5′ N · 98° 15.9′ E
A small double beach south-west of Patong, run by a beach club, with a coral reef about 100 m offshore. Because it faces north-east it stays calm when the west coast is rough, which makes it one of the few spots that work outside the high season.
Practical
Coordinate from OSM. Entrance fee usually about 100 THB; jet skis are not allowed near the beach. It gets busy in the afternoons when tour groups arrive, so go early (Phuket 101). Reach it by dinghy from the Patong South Point anchorage.
