Nopparat Thara Beach
หาดนพรัตน์ธารา
A long stretch of sand west of Ao Nang, peaceful in the shade of casuarina trees. At low tide you can walk out to small islands in the sea, and it's a great spot to watch the sunset.
Nopparat Thara Beach lies right next to the western end of Ao Nang Beach and is part of Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park. The sandy beach stretches about 2 km and is lined with casuarina trees. It is noticeably less crowded than Ao Nang. At low tide, a sandbar emerges, allowing you to walk out to the islet opposite, and it's a lovely place to watch the sunset. Near the national park office there is a pier with boats to Railay and Phi Phi. It is about 10 minutes on foot or by shared songthaew from Ao Nang, and entry is free.
