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 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.
