Beach overall scores
Pirate Beach (Krabi) is located outside the Ban Sangka U settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Pirate Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"According to the only person I saw there, the beach shut down due to the pandemic. However, if you enjoy exploring deserted areas and taking a pleasant bike ride on a well-maintained road with stunning views, it's definitely worth a visit. It seems like it was a fantastic spot before the pandemic hit. Let's hope someone can revive it and restore its former charm."
Lars van der Meer
"This beach is situated at the southernmost tip of the island and boasts uniquely designed duplex bungalows that overlook the sea. The pool is also a great feature and the owner is very welcoming. If you're more interested in adventure than luxury, you'll have a great time here. I highly recommend this spot. 👌"
