Phi Phi Ley Island has many famous beaches of which Maya Bay is perhaps the most famous. Leonardo DiCaprio made a movie here called 'The Beach' and has increased the popularity of an already popular beach. Maya Bay is an almost perfect circular bay with a spectacular Sandy Beach at the southern side. There are two other smaller beaches inside Maya Lagoon that are well worth exploring and often a lot quieter than the main bay.
Maya Bay Phi Phi Ley Island leads through to the neighboring bay through a small tunnel in the rocks. At middle or low tides you can walk through to Loh Samah Phi Phi Ley Island and find yourself staring at three fantastic islands. Two islands to the south are the Bida Islands where most of the islands deep diving is done. The Loh Samah Beach is a small boutique beach surrounded by towering cliffs and makes a spectacular picnic spot.
