Island: Coral Island

Coral Island or Koh He which is the correct name is located only 3km from Phuket. 

The Island was formed from coral hence the name. It's a fantastic place for snorkeling and also has many beach activities

Coral Island, known locally as Koh Hae, is a beautiful getaway destination around 3 km southeast of Phuket. The island has 2 main beaches: Long Beach and Banana Beach. Snorkeling off Banana Beach is a thrilling experience. If you go out far enough from Long Beach, you'll also have a lot to discover at its impressive coral reef.

The island is beautifully calm at night but can get quite busy during the day. Peace and quiet can be found at the extremities of both beaches. You can rent deck chairs and sun loungers and can easily find a restaurant on the island.

What to do on Coral Island:

Both beaches have a lot of water sports activities, including banana boats, canoes, and snorkeling. There's a speedboat on Long Beach that can take you out for a brief parasail outing.
