Beach overall scores
Phra nang Cave Beach (Krabi) is located outside the Railay 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 correct question is not how to get to Phra nang Cave Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This shoreline boasts breathtaking rock formations that add to its charm. The beach is a sight to behold, with towering limestone cliffs that provide a picturesque backdrop. It's a haven for rock climbers, who can scale the cliffs and take in the views from above. All in all, it's a beautiful spot that's not to be missed."
