Step out of your Ao Nang Cliff resort and set off on an adventure 11km away from Krabi town. Railay beach is accessible only by boat, so opt for a transfer via your hotel.

Railay Beach is definitely not an island, but the massive limestone formations that have come up close to the shores block it off from land. Thus, you’ll need a boat to get there.
