Phra Nang Cave Beach (Phra Nang Beach)
Best time to visit
Early morning, around 7-9am, offers calm water, soft light and far fewer longtail boats; late afternoon works for golden hour photos, but expect larger crowds.
Budget tips
No official beach entry fee applies, but longtail boat transfers from Ao Nang or Railay typically cost 100-300 THB one way; negotiate and split the fare with other travelers, and bring your own water and snacks to avoid higher prices on the beach.

About
Бързи факти: Imagine sheer limestone cliffs plunging into turquoise water, with climbers tackling dramatic overhangs mere feet from the sand. A forest of carved wooden phallic offerings sits inside a secluded cave shrine, part of a quirky local fertility tradition that catches most visitors off-guard.
Акценти: Step into the small sea-cave shrine tucked behind the beach and you'll find dozens of carved wooden lingams, some no bigger than a dinner plate and others a foot long, all left by fishermen and families as offerings to a Princess Goddess for safe voyages and fertility. At sunrise the limestone cliffs melt into honey-gold, powdery white sand gives way to a waist-deep turquoise pool, and longtail boats with bright ribbons bob nearby, the air filled with salt, song, and the quiet rattle of wooden charms.
Insider tips
- Arrive by 7-9am on weekdays to avoid the bulk of day-trippers and get clearer water for swimming.
- Wear sturdy water shoes for rocky shoreline and easy access to shallow pools at low tide.
- Photograph the Princess Cave shrine framed by cliffs, and use the small peninsula at low tide for wide panorama shots.
- Skip expensive organized boat tours, negotiate a shared longtail transfer, or combine the visit with Railay to save on transport.
