Quiet Chumphon shore bay for shallow snorkeling and easy fish spotting.
Aow Lok Gum is a quiet shore-entry bay in Chumphon, set beside a homestay and suited to relaxed snorkeling or very easy shallow diving. The site is more about gentle exploration and small fish life than dramatic topography, with sightings such as grouper, pufferfish, boxfish, squid eggs, and colorful seahorses in the shallows.
Safety Notes
Aow Lok Gum is low impact and shallow, but it still benefits from careful footing and calm buoyancy because the appeal is in the close-in marine life rather than depth.

Scuba Diving
