Chalong Pier

Chalong is the busiest pier on Phuket and home to most of the dive boats and private yachts of the south. Chalong Bay is the only year-round anchorage at the southern tip of the island, which is why so many yachts are based here.

From the south-west beaches it is the obvious choice: no long drive across the island, and Coral Island is on the horizon as soon as you leave the bay.
