Anchorages at the Rock Islands

Yacht mooring on buoys or your own anchor at a depth of 5-10 meters on the sand. Be careful not to anchorage on corals because you may damage them and your anchor may get stuck in them.

The Rock Islands and coastal waters are part of Mu Ko Lanta National Marine Park. The Rock Islands are famous for their beaches and coral gardens. The islands are covered with untouched jungle where live two-meter-long varanas, hundreds of species of birds and small rodents. Only national park rangers live here.

The islands are popular with yachtsmen because they are an excellent place for snorkeling and diving, suitable for beginners because the waters surrounding the islands do not have strong currents, the water is clear, excellent visibility and shallow depth. The underwater world near the islands is rich with tropical fish, white and blue hard corals, sea anemones and other species of marine life.

In May 2022, it was reported that the national park was closed. You can anchor or buoy, but swimming and going ashore are prohibited.
