Krabi Beaches

Beaches in Krabi offer not just the white sand and crytalline sea but also some the world's most stunning backdrops.

The Krabi sea is good for snorkeling beacuse the water is shallow, although many of Krabi?s beaches are accessible only by boat the exception being Ao Nang Beach.

Ao Nang Beach

Ao Nang is also the main place to catch local long tail boats for day trips to islands nearby, or other beaches along the Krabi coastline. As Krabi's most developed beach, there is a wide range of accommodation available. Ao Nang Beach in Krabi is a great homebase to explore other islands and beaches.
