Nui Bay
Nui Bay, with the twin limestone rocks known as Camel Rock, lies on the north-west coast of Phi Phi Don. The shallow reef around the rocks has table and soft corals, and to the west a wall drops to about 18–20 m with swim-throughs for divers with good buoyancy. Sweetlips, seahorses and ghost pipefish are reported, and leopard sharks are sometimes seen. The corals have recovered well after the 2010 bleaching event.
