Things to do in Krabi Town, Krabi Province: The Best Beaches
The southern Thailand town of Krabi serves as base camp for exploring the province of the same name, a lush region of jungles, limestone cliffs and idyllic isles floating just offshore in the Andaman Sea. Buddhist shrines still used by local monks are tucked into the chambers of the town's top attraction, Tiger Cave. The riverside pier links travelers with ferries and longboats to the best scuba diving, rock climbing and white sand beaches on the coast.

Phra Nang cave beach, is breathtaking! Depending on your route, you can go to railay beach west and walk through to railay beach east, and on through the caves to Phra Nang, the journey to Phra Nang is absolutely beautiful, you will likely see some wildlife along the way and there is even a slight rock climb (rope assisted) up to a viewpoint, unfortunately I didn't get to the viewpoint, but imagine its unbelievable once you get to the top. There are shops in the little resort style town on the way through where you can grab cold beverages of any sort, and snacks, and enjoy them along your walk. You will suddenly come out of the half caved walkway into pure paradise, several hundred metre tall karst formations with vegetation and birds flying to and from their nests, there is a decent size section if water ropes off for swimmers where there is no boat access for when the 40°C heat becomes too much and your forced to enter the tropical, fish filled waters. This beach I would recommend before all others at least to see once!

We went to Ao Tha Lane twice. One in day time for kayaking and swimming. Tide was high and very good for kayaking; and the other during sunset - tide was very low but we got to see sunset. We have the dual experience. Our son shared the same kayak and enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommend the beautiful and memorable experience

This beach is a beautiful beach. It is peaceful and clean. The best way to appreciate this beach is by using one of the resorts placed beside it. There is little shade otherwise. There are cornered off sections to guide you for swimming as there may be a few long tail boats parked a long side to offer you rides to other beaches and islands. None of which bother you too much and wait for custom. When the tide is low you'll see many rocks but this isn't often. It's a beautiful beach and worth the walk to each end.

while the Krabi beaches are usually very crowded (especially Ao Nang), it gets more quiet once you get to Khlong Muang. And driving just some 5km further, you reach the Tubkaek Beach, with some ressorts with restaurants, but beautiful and quiet. and a wonderful sunset.

This is the perfect place for a marriage proposal. I didn't...but you could! We walked over from our hotel at the Avatar at around 8am. The caves on the way are super cool! When we arrived there may have been another 4 or 5 people there spread out on the long, beautiful beach. We had a romantic and amazing time swimming under the cliffs and walking down the nearly deserted beach with its mind-blowing, travel documentary-like rock formations. It was an amazing couple of hours. Then the tour boats showed up disgorging masses of international tourists. The population of the beach went from a handful to hundreds in about 30 minutes. It was borderline infuriating...Selfies everywhere. Then the tide came in...and poof, they were all gone as if they'd never been! Back to relaxation by 12-1pm! A boat with a full kitchen showed up too! There are no permanent vendors allowed here. The boat sold beer, lots of food options and soft drinks and water. It was awesome! They also take back their garbage. Make sure to give it back to them and keep this paradise clean. Bring water, waterproof footwear, sun safety stuff and a blanket to lounge on. Be prepared to get wet on the walk back if you leave during high-tide. We were soaked to the waist. We were both stung a bit by what I presume were very small jellyfish or organisms while swimming. The stings faded quickly and most of my time in the water, (Which was a couple of times an hour) I wasn't affected. Despite the tour boats, mild stings and soaking, this beautiful beach was a highlight from our trip and I will always remember it.

By far one of the best beaches around only accessible by long tail boat, beautiful surroundings & you can also walk through a cave where the monkeys are to Phra Nang cave beach which is also beautiful. Longtail boat from Ao Nang beach costs 200 baht return per person

Hidden Beautiful beach cove, not to crowded, pure white sand and surrounded by stunning limestone cliff. Part of a national park and the Centara Beach Resort, absolutely picturesque. You can rent a kayak for 200 Baht/hour,or just swim or lay on the white sand. Amazing. The Centara Resort coast club serves up delicious food and drinks.
