Very beautiful beach and surroundings. As you first enter to the beach as you walk around the side of the hill there are people every where looking at the caves and jumping in the water, which was worrisome, as We wanted a quite day... We walked to the opposite side of the entrance and were not disappointed. The beach was... More

Firstly, there are so many other beaches. Secondly, a high number of tourists and locals drinking here at night leaves the beach covered in broken glass and rubbish. Also, we swung merrily in our hammock, which was nice, but there was a high volume of red ants in the trees, who thought otherwise. I'd go somewhere else

Can be quiet at times which is idylic for couples. Equally great for families as nice beach and great clean water; good for snorkelling

So beautiful! At low tide you can climb through the cave. Soft sand and clear water. Limestone rocks make for beautiful pictures. Gorgeous sunsets.

We went here during the low season and stayed at one of the adjacent resorts. During the morning times and evenings, the beach was deserted, so it had it all to ourselves, giving the experience of exclusivity and romance...

Went on the low season, although the water is not that clear, the environment is superb and quiet. The opposite side of phra nang cave, walk down till the other end, there's the best place to chill out and stay cool

The beach is not too big but the place is well decorated with caves, hills , islands and trees. Great place to take photos. The minus factor is that there are just too many people there. Sheltered by the cliff and cave, the water is calm and thus ideal for swimming. But the other end has strong waves, thus too... More

It is one of the 4 island tour at Krabi. We visited the beach at the last of the itinerary with just 1 hour after lunch but it is not sufficient to tour Railay island. Here is my review on Phranang Beach:- Attraction Highlight: It is a clear water with white sandy beach at Phranang. East of the beach located... More

We went to phra nang in may. Initially stopped on railay via long boat but railay beach was wayyy too rocky and then walked 20 mins to phra nang and it was breathtaking. There are food vendors on the island. Very great and cheap food. A perfect beach in my opinion. We took long tail boat back to Ao nang.

Nice beach, but totally overcrowded with people everywhere and hard to find a place to sit. We were there at high tide, guess low-tide is far better.
