Not all Phuket beaches are suitable for good snorkeling, so as we were often asked which is best for this activity, we listed beaches with rocky and peaceful areas. None will ever be as rich as Coral Island or Similan Islands, but will have enough marine life to make your day. The best beaches are often the remote and hidden ones, not too disturbed by boats and swimmers, so we sorted them by preference. As disclaimer you have to be aware that swimming is dangerous in most areas during low season. It is also best to bring your own snorkeling gear as not all beaches can rent you one.
