Noppharathara beach, Krabi Overview

Located around 6 Km towards the west of Krabi town, the Noppharat Thara Beach is one of Krabi's most famous beached. The 3 km long strect of soft, white sand lined up with coconut and casuarina trees is made up of two beaches. A marvellous view of the offshore island of Ko Khao Sam Nuai together with the Noppharat Thara–Koh Phi Phi National Park is visually appealing.

The water level near Nopparat Thara Beach is so shallow that one can actually walk up to the islands during low tides. So, for those picnicking plans in the shade of coconut trees, Noppharathara Beach is an ideal tourist destination to visit. Formerly known as Klong Haeng Beach, it is divided into two parts by the Klong Haeng River and is originally a part of the Marine National Park.
