     Had Noppharat Thara (Noppharat Thara Beach)

The beach, paved with tiny seashells, was formerly called "Had Khlong Haeng", which means dried canal beach by locals, because the canal dries up during low tide and the area turns into a long beach. Situated 18 kilometers north-west of Krabi, Had Noppharat Thara is in fact part of Had Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park and is the location of the Park headquarters. This Park covers a large area both onshore and offshore
     Had Rai Le (Rai Le Beach)
         This beach is generally divided into two sections, east and west. West Rai Le provides visitors with peace and quiet as it is a broad sandy beach with fewer facilities than Ao Nang.
