About Bottle Beach Reef

Bottle Beach is one of Koh Phangan's most remote and beautiful beaches, accessible only by longtail boat from Chaloklum or a challenging jungle hike. The reef is small but the setting is spectacular — pristine sand, clear water, and minimal development. A great destination for combining beach time with light snorkeling.

Tips

Take a longtail from Chaloklum (200 baht]. The reef is best at the east end of the beach.

Experience Required

None. Casual snorkeling.
