The Northwestern bay of Ko Similan is known as
Donald Duck bay after the large boulder
formation piled up on a hill overlooking the bay.
This is one of the best protected anchorages in
the area during the Northeast season when the
Similan islands National park is open to visiting
yachts and dive boats. There are moorings laid
in the bay but the dive boats have priority and
will ask that you move off if they find you on a
buoy. If there are no spare buoys you will have
to anchor a good distance offshore in 12 to 15
metres being careful to avoid dropping your
anchor on the coral. This is a favoured evening
spot and it is possible to get dive tanks filled by
asking one of the dive boats. There is a path
leading from the beach up to the boulder
formation from where you get a good view of the
bay.
