#3 Aow Leuk Bay

Blacktip Shark

Crystal clear water, the most coral reef and parrot fish

The landscape at Aow Leuk is amazingly beautiful. It has a white sandy beach and turquoise coloured sea with Shark Island featured in the distance.

The bay itself has a large sandy seabed with living coral reefs on two sides of the coastline and it starts from the shallow water on the beach.

You can enter the water from the beach and swim or snorkel for hundreds of metres along the coastline and follow the coral reef to see an abundance of marine life.

You can expect to see different types or corals from Staghorn to Boulder coral and Table corals with fish darting in between in search of food or protecting their territory.

Long fin banner fish, Trigger fish, Damsel fish, Anemone fish, Parrot fish, Wrasse and various types of Grouper are all visible.

There are Giant Clams, Barrel Sponges, Barracuda, Stingrays and a couple of times a year, the shallows are used as a nursery by baby Black Tip Reef Sharks.Läs mer
