Tub Kaek Beach

Tub Kaek Beach sits at the quiet northern end of the Ao Nang coast, backed by forested hills and looking out to the limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay. It is a resort-and-restaurant stretch rather than a bar strip, so it suits travellers who want Krabi without the crowds. The water stays shallow a long way out, which makes it easy for swimming and wading. The Tab Kak Hang Nak (Dragon Crest) nature trail starts from the same road.

This undiscovered heaven of white sand and turquoise water of Andaman is ornamented with a gorgeous irregularly shaped island on all sides. One can explore the surrounding islands and take up adventurous eco-water sports, kayaking and relaxing in freshwater springs. Along the coast of this pristine beach, a few accommodations and some small restaurants offering local cuisine have come up in recent years. In spite of these few resorts, this place remains one of the quietest and most tranquil spots for a recreational holiday.
