Activities in Koh Muk

Located on the west coast of the island, near Garnet Beach, the Emerald Cave is a sea cave which you can swim through at low tide to reach a hidden lagoon with a beach. This is the most popular and spectacular tourist attraction in the area and it attracts lots of visitors on day tours.
