About Chumphon Pinnacle
Chumphon Pinnacle is an offshore Koh Tao pinnacle reached by boat, with a steep main rock that attracts schools of fish and seasonal pelagic visitors. Strong current and open-water exposure make it a more advanced site, but the top of the structure still delivers classic pinnacle scenery and heavy fish action.
