Snorkeling in Krabi

1. Railay Beach: Railay beach or Rai leh beach is in fact a peninsular region which counts for a total of four beaches. You might be able to spot some reef fish while snorkeling here. Snorkeling here in crystal clear waters will let you see plenty of marine life at your own pace.

You need not worry if you do own snorkeling gear, you can rent one out from the shops at just 50 Thai bahts per day and a refundable security deposit of 800 Thai Bahts. Snorkeling in Railay beach will definitely be the highlight of your trip to Krabi. 

2. Phra Nang Beach: Phra Nang is a cave-shaped beach, with a radical curve of pale, soft white sand and limestone mountains and cliffs. To get the best experience of snorkeling and sunbathing, you can rent a kayak and drift in the sea. You can also get a pristine view of the entire Krabi while snorkeling or kayaking in the middle of the sea.

You can find great snorkeling spots at the end of the beach. It gets more crowded around afternoon so you can enjoy solitude at the beach, very early in the morning or late afternoon.

3. Tonsai Beach: Offering a combination of cheap accommodation and great rock-climbing routes, Tonsai Beach works as a great destination for backpackers and adventure enthusiasts.. It is not entirely safe for swimming and snorkeling purposes due to low tides and rocks right in front of the sand, as you can end up getting serious injuries.

Please note that most of the coral reefs on this beach are dead too so it’s better to go to the outer islands for snorkeling and diving.  On the bright side, this makes for a perfect spot for sea-kayaking and rock climbing. 

4. Ao Nang Beach: Ao Nang beach, with a combination of relaxed atmosphere of a small town, the magnificence of a beach resort, comforts of home and utmost friendliness makes it a vibrant tourist attraction of Krabi. Just 20 minutes away from Krabi by road, Aon Nang offers one of the best snorkeling experiences in Krabi with a huge variety of marine life and clear waters.

You can find picturesque sceneries, crystal clear blue water while snorkeling here, making this beach an impeccable spot for tourism. You can also discover different species of tropical fish and avoid crowds.

5. Tub Kaek Beach: Just half an hour away from Ao Nang coast, lies an ethereal and isolated paradise, called TubKaek beach. The white sand and beautiful blue water offers great snorkeling opportunities to the tourists. You can reach out to 2 almost abandoned islands named, Ko Muaeng and Sa Deng which are perfect snorkeling spots with hundreds of different coral reefs, fishes, sponges, etc. and crystal clear blue water. If you own your own snorkeling equipment the coral reefs here are some of the best in Krabi. 

6. Klong Muang Beach: Klong Muang beach has the charm and charisma of the authentic Thailand and minimal crowd of the typical touristy beaches. The underlying beautiful coral reefs, undiscovered lagoons, and majestic limestone formations, makes it one of the best spots for snorkeling in Krabi.

The northern part of the beach is ideal for snorkeling and other beach activities. You can also mesmerise the beauty of the Andaman sea while snorkeling or kayaking here. This hidden paradise of Krabi is every water-sports enthusiast’s delight with tranquil blue water and a quiet atmosphere.

7. Ao Siew: Ao Siew is a remote beach stuck between lush coconut trees and tropical mangrove trees, away from the buzz of cities, making it an ideal peaceful getaway. You can take a refreshing dip here as the water is calm and pleasant. Most of the population here are super-friendly native fishermen and locals to help you guide around the beach.

Due to less crowds, you can practically have the entire beach to yourself. While visiting this beach, one must pack their own essentials as Ao Siew does not have any shop of its own, in case you need to buy something you must commute to Klong Muang.
