Beach Exploration & Relaxation

Discover hidden beaches, lagoons, and coastal beauty

About This Activity

Krabi is blessed with some of Thailand's most spectacular beaches, from world-famous Railay Beach to hidden coves accessible only by boat. Beach exploration tours allow you to discover these pristine coastal gems. Railay Beach, accessible only by boat due to surrounding cliffs, is divided into several beaches each with unique character. Phra Nang Beach features a sacred cave shrine and is consistently rated one of the world's most beautiful beaches. The dramatic limestone karsts rising from turquoise waters create a stunning backdrop. Ao Nang Beach is more developed and offers a range of water activities, beach bars, and restaurants. From here, you can hire long-tail boats to explore nearby islands and secluded beaches. Tonsai Beach is popular with rock climbers and has a more laid-back, bohemian atmosphere. Private beach tours can be arranged to visit multiple beaches in one day, with plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and photography. Beach hopping by long-tail boat is a quintessential Krabi experience, allowing you to create your own adventure.
