A section of Nopparat Thara Beach just west of Ao Nang town, a national-park beach with a wide flat shoreline and quieter atmosphere than the main strip. It's shallow and broad at low tide — better for a walk and watching the longtails leave for the islands than for serious swimming. Food and drink stalls sit at the waterfront, and some island-tour boats depart from the adjacent pier. Free to enter.
Highlights
Quieter national-park beach with island views to the west
Less crowded than Ao Nang's main town beach
Starting point for some island tour departures
What's included
The best swimming — that's a longtail ride away at Railay or the islands
