    Great beach, with not a lot of people. Would definitely recommend this one. You can get here from the monkey walking trail on Ao Nang Beach. Takes about 10 minutes to walk the trail. It is a hike, so just be aware. You can't rent kayaks here, the only kayaks they have at the beach are for the resort guests. After visiting the other beaches I am actually very happy about this. This beach has no reason for someone to go to unless you are staying at the resort or your really want to go to this beach. Which means not a lot of tourists and no tours. The other beaches "Railay Beach" and "Phra Nang" get loaded with people during the day! If you want to go to a gorgeous beach and just lay on wonderful sand. And also have some spots for shade, this is your beach.

    (Translated by Google) The best beach in Aonang. Small, clean. There are enough people, but there is always room. Water is almost always clear and not cold. One of the few beaches where you can swim in the low tide, the depth is enough. The bottom is sand, not clay. Entrance, only through the mountain from the side of Aonang. At the entrance of the guard, you need to write down the name and time of entry in the notebook, and then indicate the time of exit. (Original) Лучший пляж в Аонанге. Небольшой, чистый. Людей достаточно, но места есть всегда. Вода, почти всегда прозрачная и не холодная. Один из немногих пляжей на которых можно купаться в отливы- глубины хватает. Дно - песок, а не глина. Вход, только через гору со стороны Аонанга. При входе охранник, нужно записать в тетрадке ФИО и время входа, а потом указать время выхода.

    This is a Beautiful beach and great place to relax and kayaking 🛶 For best experience move closer to huge limestone cliff because you will get less crowd and noise..and this part of AaoNang beach is best for photography. You can reach here by Monkey trail,It just a 20 min hike but you will get beautiful view of Pai Plong Beach from other side of mountain. Note: bring your water bottles and some drinks because cantara resort will charge 2 -3 time high than normal rates if you purchase any drinks from them..

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful beach, few people. Access on foot via Monkey Trail or canoe from Ao Nang Beach. There are no bars or anything like that. There is only a resort that is available only to its guests, so take your water supply and possibly snacks 😉 (Original) Piękna plaża, mało ludzi. Dojście piechotą przez Monkey Trail albo kajakiem z plaży Ao Nang. Nie ma tu barów, ani nic podobnego. Jest tylko resort dostępny w całości tylko dla jego gości, więc zabierzcie zapas wody i ewentualnie przekąski 😉

    (Translated by Google) Fantastic beach❤👑 Clean and beautiful. Quiet, stunning scenery, quiet, few people luscious beach. Both for sunbathing and bathing🏊‍♂️ You walk the "Monky trail" which is not recommended if you are not sure of the legs as it is up and down very wooden stairs. You can choose to relax on the beach or you can buy a "daypass" where you get a sunbed, towel, possibility of shower and toilet. There is also a nice restaurant where you can eat. Daypass and restaurent are priced above average but if you want quality then the price and experience are worth it .. (Original) Fantastisk strand❤👑 Ren og smuk. Rolig, fantastisk natur, stille, få mennesker lækker strand. Både til at solbade og bade🏊‍♂️ Du går af "Monky trail" som ikke anbefales hvis du ikke er sikker på benene da det er op og ned af meget interimistisk trapper i træ. Du kan vælge at slappe af på stranden eller du kan købe "daypass" hvor du får solseng, håndklæde, mulighed for bad og toilet. Der er også en dejlig restaurent hvor du kan spise. Daypass og restaurent ligger pris over middel men hvis du ønsker kvalitet så er prisen og oplevelsen det værd..👑👑👑👑👑

    We walked there from Ao Nang via the Monkey Trail. It’s a small little beach with few people but otherwise, nothing too spectacular versus the other amazing beaches in the islands nearby. Worth a visit if you want some beach time while in Ao Nang but don’t want to go out on a boat.

    (Translated by Google) Nice beach, soft sand, suitable for families with children, as it is shallow near the shore. Quietly calm, until 11 in the morning almost nobody, then it becomes crowded. For ao-nang, this is the best beach by the rail. You can walk from the center of ao nang on foot along the path through the rock. (About how to climb a 4-5 storey building). Sunbeds paid from the hotel (500batt) (Original) Хороший пляж, мягкий песок, подходит для отдыха с детьми , тк у берега мелко. Тихо спокойно, до 11 утра почти никого, потом становится людно. Для ао- нанга это лучший пляж по мимо рейли. Дойти из центра ао нанг можно пешком по тропе через скалу. ( Примерно как подняться на 4-5 этажный дом) . Лежаки платные от отеля (500батт)

    (Translated by Google) Cool beach! You can comfortably swim even at low tide, which is rare for Krabi! Sand and water are just super (Original) Классный пляж! Можно комфортно купаться даже при отливе, что редкость для Краби! Песочек и вода просто супер

    Pai Plong Beach in Ao Nang is a hidden gem that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and serene beach experience. The short hike to the beach is well worth it, as you will be rewarded with breathtaking views and a sense of tranquility that is hard to find at other popular beaches in the area. One of the standout features of Pai Plong Beach is its calm and clear waters. It's the perfect place to go for a swim, snorkel or even just to relax on a float. Additionally, the beach is at its quietest in the morning, so it's an ideal time to visit if you want to avoid crowds and enjoy some peaceful moments by yourself. Another highlight of Pai Plong Beach is the opportunity to see monkeys on the walk to the beach. It's not every day that you get to see these playful creatures in their natural habitat, so make sure to bring your camera along for some great photo opportunities. Overall, Pai Plong Beach is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a relaxing and tranquil beach experience in Ao Nang. The combination of calm waters, quiet atmosphere, and the chance to see monkeys make it a unique and unforgettable destination.

    One of my favorite beaches in Krabi. Secluded beach reachable by monkey trail. The Centara hotel guard records names and in-out time of every person coming to the beach. The beach is clean and very comfortable. There only one restaurant which belongs to the five-star hotel Centara, so don’t expect convenient prices. No public toilets or showers are available, only the one for the hotel and the restaurant guests.

    (Translated by Google) The only acceptable beach that can be reached on foot from Krabi. Quiet, comfortable. The beach is surrounded by cliffs. (Original) Единственный приемлемый пляж на который можно добраться пешком из Краби. Тихо, уютно. Пляж окружен скалами.

    Excellent and totally worth the walk. Monkeys are a bit hit and miss... might see loads, might see none. Just remember to have your vaccine certificate to show the person at the end of the monkey trail when entering the beach. A digital version is accepted too.

    Worth making your way here from ao nang beach. Far less tourists, cleaner water and a nice view when you turn around and look at all the cliffs

  • 5/5 Lennart W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The way there is very adventurous. Passing monkeys and a staircase to the relatively small beach. Your name will be recorded at the entrance but the beach is free. A few shady spots are also available. But the backdrop is the real highlight. (Original) Der Weg dort hin ist schon sehr abenteuerlich. Vorbei an Affen und über eine Treppe geht es zu dem verhältnismäßigen kleinen Strand. Am Eingang wird noch dein Name erfasst aber der Strand ist kostenlos. Ein paar Schattenplätze sind auch vorhanden. Aber die Kulisse ist das eigentliche Highlight.

    (Translated by Google) The beach itself is beautiful because of the rock in the sea and the cliffs that surround it. To get there you have to go on a path with wooden steps. The sand is not one of the best, but the bad thing is that you are listening to the noise of motor boats that sound barbaric and do not stop entering and leaving Ao Nang. Relaxing has little ... (Original) La playa en sí es bonita por el peñón en el mar y los acantilados que la rodean. Para llegar hay que ir por un camino con escalones de madera. La arena no es de las mejores, pero lo malo es que estás todo el santo día escuchando el ruido de las barcas a motor que suenan una barbaridad y no dejan de entrar y salir de Ao Nang. De relajante tiene poco...

    (Translated by Google) The beach is very nice but there is no refreshment (refreshment is only for guests on the beach). The tide is very large. The beach can be reached only by boat, money trail and when the high tide so the sea. I recommend this beach. (Original) Pláž je velmi pěkná ale není zde možnost občerstvení (občerstvení je jen pro ubytované na pláži ). Příliv a odliv je velmi velký. Na pláž se dá jen lodí,money trail a když je velký odliv tak mořem. Tuto pláž doporučuji.

    Unlike Ao Nang Beach, there were few people and I spent a great time relaxing and soaking up the sun here. You can reach it from Ao Nang Beach on foot. About 20min. Please keep in mind that you'd better take some bottles of water because there is nowhere you can buy them.

    Hidden gem! Worth the walk through the jungle

  • 4/5 Aleksei D. 1 year ago on Google
    Although the surrounding mountains look awesome, the water is turbid and it's pretty noisy, because of dozens of boats passing by, so maybe worth going here in the morning.

  • 3/5 Anastasiya 4 months ago on Google
    muddy green water, like in Aonang. It's only worth coming if you want to see monkeys along the way.

  • 5/5 Lucie M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful clean beach. Warm sea. Fine sand. Shady places little. Beautiful views. Rocking pier and peace. Resort hidden in nature. It is worth a walk through the monkey trail to this place. At the entrance you only want a name and keep track of your stay. (Original) Krásná čistá pláž. Teplé moře. Jemný písek. Stinných míst málo. Krásné výhledy. Houpajici molo a klid. Resort ukryt v přírodě. Stojí za to projít monkey trail na toto místo. U vchodu po vás chtějí jen jméno a evidují dobu pobytu.

  • 5/5 Simon V. 5 months ago on Google
    So far the most beautiful beach I have seen. Entrance is free.

  • 5/5 Egor S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Important: before you step into the beach, the guard asks you to write down your name and time you entered. Before you leaving you will write down the time you left. Having the fact that the beach is located on the side of all parties it is still crowded. Me personally love this beach much more than any others. Because the landscapes here are good and it is still not very easy to get here hence it is more quiet.

    Beautiful beach in bay Krabi district with amazing view of the sunset. We stayed here after monkey trail. We was really thirsty and we needed some fresh drink - we took first bar, that we saw. I had drink Thai platanter's punch and my girlfriend Mojito. They were very refreshing. As bonus we had perfect view of sunset over beach. Look at pictures.

  • 5/5 Ranwa Z. 4 months ago on Google
    Stunning bay that you reach through the Monkey trail. Views are epic and it’s less crowded than Ao Nang Beach. Worth it.

  • 4/5 Antonio Vidal C. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice beach after the monkey trail. You need to register at the entrance( your name and number of people), but it was free for us, I don't know why they do it. The water is very hot and not many people. There are also very few shadows, so be aware.

  • 4/5 Andrew “Andy” D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Nice beach at the end of the monkey trail but a few things surprised us. Firstly why would there be a big electric fence that could be harmful to monkeys and then have a big opening at the side that such an intelligent troop of animals could easily circumvent. Secondly there was a table with people registering but organization was a tad haphazard and no explanation as to why details were needed. Thirdly when we arrived there was a guy with a boat and a kayak ferrying trash between the beach and the long tail boat. Obviously trash has to be taken away but doing this mid day seemed madness with the smell and impact to people at the resort and on the beach. Overall though a nice beach and a good way to finish up the trail.

  • 5/5 Claudia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice beach, clean. You can rent kayaks or just chill. Clean water and quiet. Recommended

  • 5/5 Bianca S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 nik 1 year ago on Google
    It is a beautiful beach, which is relatively easily accessible by following a wooden path behind the The Last Fisherman Bar. Unfortunately the water was not very clear during our visit and almost nobody was swimming. The sand is also not the nicest. When lying down, we constantly had a smell of dried dog poo in the nose. But it is much better than the ugly narrow beach next to the beach road in Ao Nang. And the view of the tree-covered rock is quite spectacular.

  • 3/5 Anastasia U. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beach to stay a day there. However i wouldn’t to stay there for the holidays. It’s too noisy because of the boots going to/from Railay all day long. You don’t hear beautiful nature around. Just boats

  • 5/5 M P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful crystal clear water. Very clean. Minimal longtail boats. Good atmosphere. Just bring food with you as there is no restaurants. Amazing beach!

  • 4/5 Harry C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely beach and not that busy. Occasional noise pollution from the long boats but that's pretty much everywhere in this area. Not many options for food/drink, just the resorts beachfront place which is quite pricey for what you are buying.

  • 5/5 N M. 3 years ago on Google
    Oh...this beach is like a hidden gem😁 for real. You need to work hard to get here. I mean, walking in a small path like a forest that I found it quite interesting. You will not get disappointed when you get here. It is better than Ao Nang beach even though they are quite close to each other.

  • 3/5 Duncan M. 4 years ago on Google
    It's a nice enough beach, the walk to it via the monkey path is short, about 10 minutes. The beach was a lot quieter than ao nang with a resort or two along it. The water is super polluted, it's murky for the first 100 meters or so, which appears to be just sand in the water, but when you leave the sea you're covered in a thin grime. Wouldn't recommend.
