17 miles from Ao Chalong
Anchor in 8-10 metres on a sandy bottom off one of the three South Point beaches. The larger one, Tri Trang Beach, has the prestigious Rosewood Resort ashore and there’s a road into Patong. This is a good night stop if a southwesterly swell is running early or late in the season.
The smaller beaches are also a favourite daytime excursion for longtails operating from the Patong Beach. Many divers and snorkellers come to enjoy the underwater sights within easy range of the beach facilities of Patong.
