For me, Phra Nang Beach is the most beautiful beach in Railay, in the enchanting province of Krabi in southern Thailand. Nestled between limestone cliffs and peaks rising from the sea, with fine white sand and turquoise waters – a truly picture-perfect setting! Phra Nang Beach is famous as one of the main attractions of day trips by boat from Krabi and Ao Nang, especially as part of the popular 4-Island Tour. Particularly interesting at Phra Nang Beach are the two mystical shrines hidden in small caves along the beach. These shrines, shrouded in legend and mystery and adorned with phallic symbols, lend the place an enigmatic and captivating atmosphere. Curious visitors can discover their intriguing history and unique artifacts, immortalized in photos that sometimes defy social media censorship. The beach is also a great spot to watch the sunset, although it's not directly facing the sun. Not to be forgotten is the famous restaurant "The Grotto," which is very popular with Instagrammers due to its location and unique view! Unfortunately, without being a regular customer at the Rayavadee Hotel, it's quite difficult to get a table there.

Phra Nang beach can be reached from Railay East in about 15 minutes on foot.
