Railay’s “hidden” beach, Phra Nang aka Cave Beach is a beautiful, secluded stretch of beach 15 minutes walk from Railay West.
This beautiful place is reached within about 15 minutes walk from West Railay. One passes the interior lagoon and some fairly impressive rocky landscape to get there. The beach itself is idyllic with beautiful white sand and very clear seas. At one end are steep rocky outcrops where one can see rock climbers negotiating their way up the cliff face. At the base of the cliffs isn Tham Phra Nang Nok or Princess cave. This is a shrine dotted with fairly graphic phallic statues and carvings – a place dedicated to fertilty where couples come to pray for success in having children and local fishermen leave offerings.
