Beaches without waves on Ko He Island

Coral Island, Goh Hee (Ko He or Koh Hey), is a true gem just a few kilometers from Phuket. It is known for its magical beaches, incredibly clear water, and fine, white sand as soft as snow.

The beaches of Ko He are the perfect place for those seeking tranquility and relaxation in the picturesque tropical jungle. It’s a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts — the underwater world here is astonishingly diverse. Thanks to its favorable location, the beaches on the island have virtually no waves, even during the low season.

You can reach the beaches of Ko He Island by longtail boat from Rawai or Chalong Pier in just 20 minutes. Renting a longtail boat costs between 1500 and 2000 baht round trip, with waiting time included.

Banana Beach is a small beach, only about 250 meters long. There are almost no waves, even during the low season. This is due to the beach being located in a bay, surrounded by cliffs, which provides good protection from the wind. It’s a paradise: white sand, turquoise water, a gentle entrance into the sea, and many colorful fish swimming just a few meters from the shore. You can see incredible coral reefs, sea stars, schools of striped fish, and various larger fish.

Banana Beach is well-equipped: the area is designed in a cohesive style, with cafes and small shops, but the main highlight is the stunning natural photo spots.

The entrance to the beach costs 100 baht, which includes access to sunbeds, showers, and restrooms.

Coral Beach is the perfect place for a peaceful getaway and snorkeling, with an incredible underwater fauna. The beach area has several cafes, beautiful photo spots, and a camping site with tents where you can stay overnight. The entrance fee to the beach is also 100 baht.

The main advantage of the beaches on Coral Island is their proximity to Phuket. Getting there is easy and relatively inexpensive, and you’ll experience plenty of enjoyment and impressions from visiting the beaches that look just like the ones in “those famous commercials.
