The Lagoon: "The lagoon itself was almost perfectly divided between land and sea. I estimated its diameter at a mile, though I wouldn't rely on the accuracy of this guess. Now nearer to the seaward cliffs than on the waterfall, I could make out features in the rock-face I hadn't seen before. Along the watermark were black hollows and caves. They looked as if they penetrated the cliff deeply - perhaps deeply enough to provide a passage for a small boat. the sea itself was punctuated by protruding boulders, slick where the waves lapped against them, flattened into slabs by centuries of tropical rain." page 102

Phi Phi Le Island

This scene from The Beach was shot in Maya Bay, Phi Phi Le island, Southern Thailand. Please note that the palm trees were added by the film-makers and have now been removed. Also, the film-makers used a digital effect to add an extra cliff so that the beach becomes hidden from the sea.

These images are from the movie The Beach and are copyright 20th Century Fox. They are used here to help promote the movie and Thailand as a tourist destination.
