Why go, and how to do it well

Situated along the Nopparat Thara shoreline in Ao Nang, Krabi, this beach offers a noticeably calmer atmosphere than the busier main beach nearby. With less longboat traffic and fewer crowds, it attracts visitors looking for a more relaxed stretch of coastline without straying far from Ao Nang's established amenities. The sand is firm underfoot, making it well suited for walking and running along the shore, and the water is generally clean and relatively shallow, which visitors have noted is home to small bubble crabs along the tideline.

The beach is particularly popular for early morning walks, when the air is cool, breezy, and quiet. A paved path runs along the shoreline with benches available at regular intervals, some covered for shade. Street parking is accessible nearby, making it easy to reach by car or motorbike. Sunsets viewed from this stretch of beach are a consistent highlight for those who visit in the early evening.

Experience hints

Reviews from Google

99.99 % clean, great super quite 8am walks. Breezy and bright, you will love the walks here. This one from my place is 3km there and 3km back. Coupled with this and the other Ao Nang beach you can get a good 10km AM peaceful walk. Add the Monkey trail and you got a good 12km walk including the cardio steps up and down + rtn, to the next beach. Good daily exercise or a long stroll. You can choose the exercise on the several Ao Nang beach walks.

It's a very nice beach for taking a walk or running. The sand is firm, so you won't sink into it. The sunsets are stunning here. A very relaxing place overall. You can also park your car or motorbike just about anywhere without issues. And right next to the beach there are also a lot of restaurants.

It is a nice urban beach. Not as busy as the main AoNang beach with less people and constant longboat traffic. It is close to the main road and quite noisy but the water seems quite cleaner as you move north.

Tips for Visiting Beaches

Go Early for Empty Sand

Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. A sunrise walk is the best hour of the day on the sand, and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.

Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
