Nang Cape/Railay Beach

Be careful not to strain your neck admiring the skyscraping cliffs as your longtail boat delivers you to Nang Cape. Here four interconnected beaches are collectively referred to as Railay Beach; the isolated beaches of Tonsai, Phra Nang, East Railay, and West Railay, only accessible by boat, are sandy oases surrounded by impressive verdant, vertical cliffs. The sand on these beaches is talcum-powder white and soft, the water is crystalline, and the crowd is an offbeat blend of bohemian travelers and fitness enthusiasts.
