Railay Beach, Krabi

Railay Beach offers unparalleled seclusion accessible only by longtail boat, cut off by limestone cliffs that rise 100 meters. Its four distinct stretches of sand include the magnificent Phra Nang Cave Beach, where emerald waters meet a sacred phallic shrine. Rock climbers ascend over 200 bolted routes on the sea-facing cliffs, from beginner-grade 5.6 to advanced 5.13a. For snorkelers, the water clarity averages 12 meters visibility.
