Phra Nang Cave Beach

Visit the Phra Nang Cave Beach in Krabi Province, southern Thailand, for a beach surrounded by a gorgeous environment and outdoor activity that few others can equal. Characterized by outcroppings of rocks that are famous for rock climbing, the shallow water of this beach makes it a preferred destination for visitors and families looking for calmer areas to swim. It can get crowded at times, yet it is one of Thailand's most unique beaches.

Stay at a resort like the Rayavadee Resort for a more secluded beach experience, which secludes guests in the forest environs and has a low-profile pool and beach area. Short walks along the shore lead through caverns and provide views of the surrounding countryside. To keep cool in the heat, try some fresh fruit from a floating vendor. May and October are the best months to visit for good weather and fewer crowds. The high season lasts from November through April.
