I stayed at the Bay View Sunset resort which I can't recommend, but it is located right in front of this wonderful beach, the best for snorkeling. You can see many species and lots of coral, the water is very visible and mild temperature, the sand is half white and half black on this side of the island. Many crustaceans live among the rubbish and the fallen leaves of the mangroves. I loved snorkeling, I spent many hours in the water watching the marine life of rare beauty, swimming a lot and picking up rubbish from the sea...I filled up rubbish bags and 100lt that I would ask the restaurant of the resort, sometimes I even forced the young people who worked there to help me, minimum to carry the heavy bags of rubbish.

Amazing place to watch the sun set on Ko Lipe - sadly only spoilt by a woman so determined to hear the sound of her own voice on her phone 🤬
