Shark Point (Long Beach snorkel spot)

Beaches & nature · Long Beach (Hat Yao) · Koh Phi Phi

The rocky point at the eastern end of Long Beach where snorkellers swim out from the sand to watch blacktip reef sharks, usually up to about two metres long and harmless to people. Early morning and late afternoon at high tide give the best chance; the sharks are shy, so float quietly. Not to be confused with the Shark Point dive site (Hin Musang) north-west of Phi Phi near the King Cruiser wreck.
