Koh Ma
A tiny island joined to Phangan's north-west tip by a sandbar you can walk across at low tide.

The sandbar and the shallow reef on either side make it the best snorkelling from the beach on Phangan, and the walk across at low tide is the island's most photographed moment.
How to visit it well
- Go at low tide — check the table, the sandbar disappears otherwise.
- Snorkel the reef on the north side, not the sandy channel.
- Mae Haad beach next door has the food and parking.
