Phra Nang Cave Beach
หาดถ้ำพระนาง
A white-sand beach at the southern tip of Railay peninsula, enclosed by limestone cliffs. Phra Nang Cave holds wooden carvings that fishermen pray before, and it is often rated among the world's most beautiful beaches.
Phra Nang Cave Beach lies at the southernmost tip of Railay peninsula. Its fine white sand is enclosed by towering limestone cliffs and stalactites, and small islands such as Happy Island are visible offshore. At the foot of the cliff, Phra Nang Cave (Princess Cave) holds many wooden carvings that local fishermen have offered to the sea goddess, a distinctive local folk custom. It is about a 10-minute walk from East Railay along the path below the cliffs, and admission is free. At low tide you can wade out to the small islands offshore. Nearby are climbing routes and the Railay viewpoint and lagoon, which require rope climbing. The paths are steep and slippery, so take care.
