About
Phra Nang Cave Beach is an attraction in Krabi, on Thailand's Andaman coast, set beneath dramatic limestone cliffs on the Railay Peninsula. It is also known as Princess Cave Beach or Phra Nang Beach Cave, and the beach takes its name from the cave above it.
What to see
- A sacred cave with striking limestone formations
- A shrine to the sea princess spirit, which gives the place its name and its spiritual character
- The cliffs rising around the beach, which frame the view from the sand
What kind of visit it makes
This is a place to walk slowly rather than to rush through. Visitors come to see the cave and its shrine, to look up at the limestone walls, and to spend time on the beach below. Because the shrine is a site of local belief, it is worth behaving quietly and respectfully while you are there.
The beach sits on the Railay Peninsula, which is reached by boat from the Krabi area. Railay is known for its towering cliffs, so the scenery here is a large part of the appeal, and many travellers combine a stop at Phra Nang with time exploring the wider peninsula.
