We were staying on the West Beach in Railey and walked through Princess Caves to come to this beach. It was like we landed on a different planet. We got here just as the sun was setting and the whole beach was bathed in orange light. 'Happy Island' that floats in the ocean a little further from the beach is a wonderful spot and we could swim to this island during low tide. What a magical place!

There is no public transportation to the beach. You walk for around 15/20 min to reach here. On the way there you come across rock climbers, monkeys and caves. No supermarkets or cafes around, so make sure to bring your own food and drink. The beach is sandy and nice to swim. The sunset is amazing. No sunbeds or umbrellas available. Definitely much better to swim here than in Railay Beach.

Nice beach with stunning views. You can find a lot of shade in the end of the beach. At the beginning of the beach you can watch the climber practise and you can have a Look at the vs nice gifts/offers that the local fisherman bring to the altar. In my eyes this is the best beach on railey. In the way you should consider even a visit at the viewpoint.

(Translated by Google) Ao Phra Nang was one of the most sought-after highlights near Krabi 15 years ago. After the hippies and dropouts, the big tour operators came and fought and placed luxury hotels. At exactly these corners where simple palm frond huts used to stand. Oil companies also wanted to place themselves on the basis of the presumed rich oil reserves. What remains is an ambivalent feeling of powerlessness. (Many so-called secret tips all over the world went through this "development". First the low budget traveler, then commercialization. Nevertheless, this beach, with the surrounding rock formations, is still an optical magnet today, which of course attracts visitors even more than in the past. Even today it almost seems like paradise, if you take the "longboat" in the direction of Ao Phra Nang Beach, the course. Mighty limestone cliffs frame the picturesque bay. Including the surrounding islands. Whoever comes here usually knows what to expect. This is even more true today than it used to be. Psssst, I still know some places in this world. Where? You definitely won't find out from me. Promised. 😆 (Original) Ao Phra Nang, war schon vor 15 Jahren einer der begehrtesten Highlights nahe Krabi. Nach den Hippies und Aussteigern, kamen und stritten sich die großen Reiseveranstalter und platzieren Luxushotels. An genau diesen Ecken, wo früher einfache Palmwedelhütten standen. Auch Erdöl Konzerne wollten sich auf Grund der vermutenten reichen Erdölvorkommen platzieren. Zurück bleibt ein zwiespältiges Gefühl von Ohnmacht. (Diese "Entwicklung" machten viele sogenannte Geheim Tipps in aller Welt durch. Zuerst die Low budget traveler, danach folgt die Kommerzialisierung. Trotzdem ist dieser Strand, mit den umgebenden Felsformationen noch heute ein optischer Magnet der natürlich noch mehr als früher, Besucher in den Bann zieht. Noch heute mutet es fast wie das Paradies an, wenn man mit dem "Longboat" in Richtung Ao Phra Nang Beach, die Kurfe macht. Mächtige Kalkstein Felsen Rahmen die malerische Bucht ein. Inklusive der umliegenden Inselwelt. Wer hierher kommt weiß normalerweise was ihn erwartet. Das gilt heutzutage noch mehr als früher. Psssst, ich kenne noch einige Plätze auf dieser Welt. Wo? Das erfährt man von mir garantiert nicht. Versprochen. 😆

Stunning beach with great crystal clear waters. ✔️The beach is accessible either through Riley East or West beach. From Riley West, walk through the main street or other streets, located almost opposite where the long-tail boats land. From there there are signs towards Phra Nang Beach. ✔️The beach tends to be crowded on the one end where the cave is but if you walk past the crowds towards the opposite side, then there will be more space and less crowding. ✔️The beach does not have shops or restaurants (unless you live in one of the hotels) so plan ahead and get your water / drinks and food if you plan to stay for extended period during the day

The second best beach of Railay. You have to wait in the afternoon for the low tide to be able to walk it all along. You'll even be able to go walking inside a big rock island. Scenery is amazingly beautiful, white sand and water you can swim in. A great escape.

It's a shockingly beautiful natural area which is unfortunately being ravaged by the long-tail boat and speed boat company's ramming as many people in at any cost. The sound of boats is deafening as the diesel in the air is noxtious. The crowds while thick are pleasant and if you can put up with all that you'll enjoy it.

I went here looking for a swimmable beach, but it's full of tourists and the sea is deep. The beach was narrow and mainly climbing, not a place to relax. Anyway, ocean is beautiful!!

Phra Nang beach in Railay, Thailand is a small peninsula between Krabi & Ao Nang beach. A Famous tale about Phra Nang was an Indian Princess who was killed in a shipwreck . This place is also known as 'Princess Cave'. A boat is necessary to reach this stunning place.This beach is reached by a paved walk way. Long sandy beach even partly shaded by trees and rocky mountain. Water is so clear. You can see fishes swimming around you . Amazing caves, huge wonderful sculpture of nature and place for climbing aside from beach. A beautiful beach alongwith the mountain lines with bluish ocean. A surreal place to hang out for the day. The hindi superhit movie 'Kaho na pyaar hai' was shot here. Toilet facility is available near beach on paying 10 Bhat.

Most beautiful sunset ❤️ I ever saw is from here. Visited during the long boat tour to 7 islands. After reaching the island you need to walk for 10-15 minutes to reach sunset point but it was totally worth 👌 it. Clean beach ⛱️ with few swimmers. Few cafe on the beachside. There are several restaurants on the beach side till the island entry point. There are some caves on this beach where entry is mostly restricted as there are rumours that cavemen still stay in them. Lifetime experience ✨️ 💕 😌 I had on this beach, don't miss it if you are in Krabi 🙂.

Nice sandy beach with awesome limestone cliffs. The water is very warm here, great for swimming. There is a restaurant on the beach however it did not look busy at all. Monkeys in the trees above the beach.

Stunning nature with massive rocks around it. The beach feels less crowded than Railay beach what makes it way better even tho there are still many people. Still the water and view is worth it. You can get there from main land via a really nice path along caves or rent a kayak from Railay and go there on water. I’ve visited on a day Trip from Ao Nang via Longboat (100 Baht each way - don’t pay 300 for buying both tickets in the beginning!)

Its amazingly beautiful despite the big crowds that island hopping tours bring in. The major attraction here is the princess cave but be mindful that most tours go in the morning which is also high tide at the island. Now during the high tide, there is upto 4.5 feet of water to be braced if you would wanna go the princess cave. During high tide the entire sand strip is underwater

One of, in my opinion, the most beautiful beaches I've ever been. There's a path that goes from Railay Beach all the way to Phra Nang Beach. The entrance is near the cave that's also located on site on your left. One small cave for prayers and if you walk through the water, there's a bigger cave which is also amazing to see. Walk to the right of the entrance and you'll see a very big rock in the sea where you can just walk to. However look out for sharp rocks that might cut you. Walk further and you will be able to visit another cave, which requires some climbing. That one is located behind the beach. Really amazing beach and looking forward to going there again someday!

We took a long tail boat here from Krabi town Pier and enjoyed a few hours on the beach. Great beach to hang out on. They have a long tail boat with good Thai food and fruit smoothies at good prices. Nice relaxing beach. Kids had fun playing in the sand and swimming. They have kayak rentals on the beach as well.

Good atmosphere and peaceful. My family loved this place especially the dinner at The Grotto restaurant.

clear shallow water for safe swimming, two small islands (Koh Rang Nok and Nai), coral reef, and caves, Ao Phra Nang has all the ingredients of a perfect beach. All this, set against a backdrop of picturesque limestone cliffs that provide natural shade from the hot afternoon sun, and offer rock climbers one of the most stunning sites for this thrilling activity in Krabi Province.

Beautiful beach. Excellent place to watch the sunset. My only complaint is that early in the morning (9-10ish) there are SO MANY PEOPLE because tour boats drop their tours off. There is also no food around. You have to walk 5-10 min to the closest shop (and they don’t sell beer there). But the sunset is incredible and there is a great tree to hang your hammock!

Beautiful beach easy to access from ao nang by long tail at 100 baht per person. Short walk from railay west, and close to the viewpoint, lagoon and bat cave. Spent two days here and it was really good, there’s quite a lot to see and do around the beach because of all the caves, and it’s great for swimming too. Water is fairly cool and refreshing compared to normal, and it’s much quieter than stay at railay beach so definitely recommend going here.

(Translated by Google) The beach is clean, fine sand, soft feet, no rocks, no shellfish at all. (Original) หาดสะอาด ทรายละเอียดนุ่มเท้า ไม่มีหิน ไม่มีเปือกหอยเลย landscape สวยมาก วิวพระอาทิตย์ตกปังมาก

(Translated by Google) It was the best beach I have ever visited. It's not like the sea, it's just fun. After accessing Railay Beach by boat from Ao Nang Beach in Krabi, I walk a little, but there is a mysterious sight surrounded by strange rocks. There are cute monkeys and strange birds, and it gets excited. Onboard stalls line up behind the long beach, serving authentic Thai food. It's quite delicious. Other than that, watching Western travelers enjoy rock climbing and exploring caves with a little swim, it's like a natural theme park, and there are so many people, but it doesn't bother me much. It is not suitable for those who want to spend a relaxing time, but it is highly recommended for those who want to actively enjoy the sea. (Original) 今まで訪れた中で最高のビーチでした。 海がどうこうではなく、とにかく楽しいんです。 クラビのアオナンビーチからボートでライレイビーチにアクセスしたのち少し歩くのですが、そこは奇岩に取り囲まれた不思議な光景。可愛い猿や変わった鳥がいたりして盛り上がります。 長いビーチの奥には船上屋台が並び、本格的なタイ料理を提供。かなりの美味です。 その他にも欧米の旅行者がロッククライミングに興じるのを眺めたり、少し泳いで洞窟を探検したりと、まるで天然のテーマパークのようで、人はそこそこ多いですがあまり気になりません。 のんびり過ごしたい方には向きませんが、アクティブに海を楽しみたい方には超おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Small beach more popular for its superb photos to be taken in different places, depending on the lighting and the tide. If you stay on Railay, it's nice to come in the morning and afternoon 😉👍 (Original) Petite plage plus prisée pour ses photos superbes à prendre en différents endroits, selon l'éclairage et la marée. Si vous séjournez sur Railay, c'est sympa d'y venir matin et après-midi 😉👍

It is a pretty and nice chill beach. Enjoy your time here! Lot of activity across. We have spent some time chilling on the beach by the sea. Lot.of longboats that bring tourist around. I would recommend to take your own boats and go around off peak times here. Find yourself a spot to chill and hang around.

Beautiful beach, nice clear water and clean sand. Wasn't to crowded when we were there in August.

(Translated by Google) Just super, sand like flour, white and soft, water like warm milk😍🥰 (Original) Просто супер, песок как мука, белый и мягкий, водичка как тёплое молоко😍🥰

Beautiful beach. Not too crowded at the moment with clean sand and warm, calm water. Just beware of the jellyfish.

Great beach. Was not crowdy when visited. Good for relaxing, swimming, sun bath. White sand beach with clear water.

The beautiful beach with Limestone cliff and surrounding of white sand and clear sea. Swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, climbing or hiking up to the popular Railay viewpoint.

Nice beach for relaxing and sunbathing. You can rent a kayak or just enjoy the calm and sun. Be aware on monkeys.

Lovely place for chill rest. Easy to get here from Railay beach. Longtail Boat for 6-8 persons will be around 100 THB per person. Or rent a kayak for much joyful activity. It is around 300-400 THB for 2-3 hours. Amazing sand and almost no waves. With lovely view on the tiny islands in the sea. Highly recommend to come here instead of overcrowded Railay or AoNang beaches.

This is of the best natural heritage spots from the places I have been till know from around the world. Like an extroverted cave landscape, with huge stalactites suspended in a magnificent equilibrium since millions of years of geological history. Stunning views along the beach with this beautiful perspective accompanied by the spectacular turquoise colour of the sea

A very beautiful beach. Changing rooms are available. Beware of corals as they can give you nasty cuts. Else it is a very beautiful beach to sunbathe, swim and watch marine life. People can walk from railey beach or take a kayak and visit by water. It has a very nice view to offer. Also it is spiritually connected with Thai culture as it has a process cave which is a must visit.

Lovely beach 🏝️ We took a long tail from Ao Nang to here a couple of times - 200 baht return ticket, from 8am to 6pm, you just turn up and get on a boat (with 7 other people!). Definitely worth a visit 🩵

One of the best beaches we have ever visited. Beautiful day out from Aonang in every way....stunning!

Amazing place!!! A huge sandy beach with a street market nearby. There are several options if you want to buy gifts or eat/drink something.

Amazing beach. Clear water and beautiful rocks around. The problem: totally over crowded! Too many boats in and out.

Beautiful white sand beach. but it gets difficult to walk on the beach during high tide. you can reach here by speed boat or by long tail boat. speed boat is fun. there are rock climbing activities and you can also enjoy waves in sea. there are few hotels also but they seem to be expensive, not sure though.

So far this is my favorite beach in Thailand! It is SO BEAUTIFUL during sunset- I highly recommend it. The water is a bit murky, so maybe not great for swimming. It also has a lot of non-stinging jelly fish and some little coral and rocks that hurt your feet. So go for a swim at the Railey Beach West. Grab a blanket and picnic here for sunset!

Probably the most amazing place to visit while in Krabi..make sure you walk right to the end where the princess cave is as you don't want to miss any thing!

Great beach. Lots of day trippers come here. Best time is early morning or early evening when people have gone. You can swim over to the island. There are a couple of bars and sometimes food boats arrive with “street food”. Nice place to spend a few hours.

(Translated by Google) Crowds, rubbish, dirt? Nothing! Thanks to Corona a beautiful piece of earth. I was alone on the beach with my climbing guide. It has to be like that. Picturesque setting with caves and climbing fun. (Original) Menschenmassen?Müll?Dreck? Fehlanzeige! Dank Corona ein schönes Fleckchen Erde. Ich war mit meinem Kletterführer alleine am Strand.

Beautiful place

(Translated by Google) It's so beautiful, it's a place that is most beautiful and impressive. There is a beautiful beach with white sand, beautiful sea, and the Andaman sea with emerald green color. It is surrounded by beautiful rock formations that surround Railay beach. Contrasting with the bright turquoise as the sun shines It is a charm that will be alluring and invites you to come back again in the future. (Original) สวยมากครัยเป็นสถานที่ที่สวยงามและน่าประทับใจเป็นที่สุด มีความสวยงามของชายหาดที่มีทรายขาว ทะเลสวย น้ำทะเลฝั่งอันดามันที่มีสีเขียวเหมือนมรกต รายล้อมไปด้วยผาหินที่สวยงามโอบล้อมหน้าหาดไร่เลย์ไว้ ตัดกับสีฟ้าครามสดใสยามที่แสงแดดส่องลงมา เป็นดังมนต์เสน่ห์อันแสนจะเย้ายวนและเชิญชวนให้อยากกลับมาเยือนในครั้งต่อๆไปอีก

(Translated by Google) Good day. An incredibly beautiful beach. Entering the water, you can admire the majestic bulk of the mountain hanging over you. Aquamarine water, a riot of green mangrove trees. I would give the beach a well-deserved top five if not for one thing: there are jellyfish in the water that sting hard enough. Because of this circumstance, you are afraid to swim, and if you do it, then you are in a state of tension. And if you see people swimming cheerfully, then you should know that they just haven't been stung by a jellyfish yet. That is why I give a four. Sincerely, Dmitri. (Original) Доброго времени суток. Невероятно красивый пляж. Зайдя в воду, вы сможете любоваться нависающей над Вами величественной громадой горы. Вода цвета аквамарин, буйство зелени мангровых деревьев. Я бы поставил пляжу заслуженную пятёрку если бы не одно но: в воде есть медузы, которые жалятся достаточно сильно. Из-за этого обстоятельства побаиваишься купаться, а если и делаешь это, то находишься в состоянии напряжения. И если Вы видите весело купающихся людей, то знайте, их просто ещё не ужалила медуза. Именно поэтому ставлю четверку. С уважением, Дмитрий.

Stunning don't miss it.

Beautiful place.

(Translated by Google) Even if you have a lodging in Ao Nang, it's good to have a long tail ride and have fun. The stunning peaks of the karst are impressive and the white sands aren't wide, but the clean beaches and relatively sparse people make it easy to relax. However, there is no infrastructure, so you have to bring food. (Original) 아오낭에 숙소가 있더라도 롱테일을 타고 하루와서 놀다가면 좋다. 카르스트의 멋진 봉우리가 인상적이고 백사장이 넓진 않지만 깨끗한 해변과 비교적 사람이 많지 않아 자유롭게 쉬다 갈 수 있다. 다만 인프라가 없어 먹을것들을 챙겨가야 한다.

(Translated by Google) It is a place where mountains, sea and sky meet, there is a very beautiful nature. (Original) เป็นสถานที่ที่ภูเขา ทะเล และท้องฟ้า มาบรรจบกัน มีธรรมชาติที่งดงามมาก

(Translated by Google) A beautiful beach that gets very narrow when the tide is high. On the path leading to this beach along the rocks there is a public toilet (paid), where the conditions are even - worth remembering, because in the second public place we found, in the center of the "town", you could film horror movies. On the beach you can meet a large dragon, funny and very shy black and white monkeys in the trees, and countless climbers on the rocks. (Original) Piękna plaża, która robi się bardzo wąska po przypływie. Przy ścieżce prowadzącej na tę plażę wzdłuż skał znajduje się publiczna toaleta (płatna), gdzie warunki są nawet-nawet - warto to zapamiętać, bo w drugim publicznym przybytku, jaki znaleźliśmy, w centrum "miasteczka", możnaby kręcić horrory. Na plaży można spotkać wielkiego warana, na drzewach śmieszne i bardzo nieśmiałe czarno-białe małpki, a na skałach niezliczonych wspinaczy.

Nice beach.....that happy

Beautiful place!

Beautiful beach and cave. Dont take your kids into the cave. Clear clean sea water we love it.
