About Ao Nang Beach

Ao Nang Beach, located in Krabi, Thailand, is a picturesque tropical paradise that stretches along the Andaman Sea, boasting powdery white sands and clear turquoise waters. The beach is a premier holiday destination, favored for its scenic beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Flanked by towering limestone cliffs and lush greenery, Ao Nang serves as an ideal base for exploring the numerous nearby islands, including the famous Phi Phi Islands. It offers a range of activities from rock climbing and snorkeling to island-hopping and kayaking, catering to adventure seekers and leisure travelers alike. A vibrant long-tail boat culture adds charm to the seascape, with these colorful vessels readily available to transport visitors to the more secluded parts of the coast. The beachfront is also home to an array of accommodations, restaurants, bars, and shops, making it convenient for tourists. Its infrastructure is well-developed, yet the environment remains largely unspoiled, striking a balance between comfort and natural allure. Ao Nang Beach is not only a gateway to maritime adventures but also a spot where one can relax, unwind, and enjoy the tropical vibe of Southern Thailand.

Cute town but not great!
Ao Nang beach town is very cute with lots of shops and restaurants. The restaurants oceanside were great with a nice breeze. The actual beach itself is not very nice. It is full of garbage. Not sure if it is just the time of year we went but it was also full of jellyfish. It is not a beach I would want to lay out on. If you go on the monkey trail over to the nearby beach, it is much better. Still jellyfish but you do not have the garbage on the beach.

Beautiful place
Firstly, I have to say that some of the bad reviews on here, couldn't have been written by anyone who spent time here!!! We stayed in a hotel that was 100m from this beach for 14 nights. The beach is lovely, beautiful sand and very clean. It's close to loads of restaurants and bars and gives you that proper holiday vibe. Everyone is friendly, from the cleaners in the hotels to the barmen and women, to the locals etc. You can also jump on a long boat and visit other beaches along the coast, which is fun and cheap at 100 baht each way. We just loved it here and have booked the same hotel for next year.

Great for a base
The reviews seems bad for this beach, but we found it really good. Unfortunately there were a lot of jellyfish around which made us cautious to swim there but the beach was nice, no litter, quite a lovely place for a stroll and to catch a longtail to other islands. There are a lot of Indian restaurants but you go back off the main street and you will find lots of local Thai places. A lovely place to use as a base.

Grim experience all round
Absolute dive of a place. It's for people who want to drink constantly through the night and pass out til lunchtime. There's no point trying to relax in the hotel as you hear a constant boom boom of the music. Mostly Indians and Indian restaurants, does NOT feel like Thailand at all. The beach itself is very average, especially having just come from Koh Samui. It's awful by comparison. Total waste of money and precious holiday coming here. Clearly the marketing is great for it.
