Bang Tao is a beautiful long sweeping bay with 4 miles of pristine beach. Anchor anywhere along the bay in around 5 metres. Several five star resorts dominate the centre of the beach with local restaurants on the sand. The original village is in the Southern corner and has a few small restaurants. At the Northern end is the small island of Ko Kala with a river accessible by dinghy at high tide leading to two lagoons, which were former tin mines. This is planned to be the site of Phuket’s first West coast marina. A new road has been laid and there is a restaurant on the beach. Not suitable in the Southwest season.
