What to Do on Noppharat Thara Beach in Krabi?
Noppharat Thara Beach runs nearly three kilometres northwest of Ao Nang, forming part of Hat Nopparat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park in Krabi. This protected coastline features white sand mixed with shells and coral fragments along the Andaman Sea.
The beach provides calm swimming conditions in clear waters, though coral pieces dot the seafloor. At low tide, visitors walk across shallow water to reach Koh Khao Pak Klong and other small islands. Casuarina and coconut trees create natural shade along the 35-meter-wide beach.
A rocky peninsula at the western end offers a viewpoint overlooking limestone cliffs and offshore islands. The eastern section near Ao Nang contains hotels and restaurants, while the western area remains quieter with basic national park bungalows.
Local songthaew buses run every 20 minutes from Ao Nang, taking four minutes to reach the beach. Nopparat Thara Pier serves speedboats departing for Phi Phi Islands and Four Islands tours. The protected status maintains the beach’s natural character compared to busier Krabi destinations.
