Donald Duck Bay is located on the north side of Koh Similan (Similan Island Number 8) and is named after a pile of rocks on the east side of the bay that look like Donald Duck's head (best viewed from outside the bay on the east side looking in). Forsters Hawkfish

That pile of rocks must be the most photographed in the Similan Islands and can be climbed if time permits between dives to give a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding islands and turquoise waters below. Donald Duck bay is sometimes referred to as M16 or Cambell's Shoe Bay.

The bay is a good natural shelter and many of the liveaboard boats moor here in the evenings. It is also a popluar place to bring daytripper snorkelling and it is an excellent spot for that. It's not the best dive site however, at least not for a day dive, more suitable to diver training because of it's shallow depth and minimal currents.

The bay is an excellent night dive location though. A number of coral bommies seperated by patches of sand are homes to a myriad of different shrimp species which can be heard crackling away on the dive. Decorator crabs are numberous as are squid and cuttlefish. Moray eels can be seen swimming at night and green turtles are also common. Painted rock lobster can also be seen.
