TON SAI WEST TIP BEACH

1.5 miles from Ton Sai Bay, Phi Phi Island

07°43.321N, 98°46.225

Ton Sai West Tip is great for a lunchtime dive or beach picnic. Anchor in 12 metres close to the small sandy beach fringed with coral that nestles into a deep recess in the cliffs. There’s a small palm-fringed indentation with a white sand beach a few hundred metres north, towards Ton Sai beach on the western edge.

The locals now call it Monkey Beach. It used to be one of the best places in the world for a picnic. However, now brazen wild monkeys have overrun the beach; they will steal your lunch. As the number of day visitors has increased, it’s become its own tourist attraction. Speedboats drop in at high tide to feed the mischievous troop ashore.
