The main beach of Nopparat Thara is located around 20km from Krabi Town and 25km from the airport. It is about 2 minutes drive from Ao Nang. There are direct boat connections from the pier to the islands of Phi Phi, as well as Lanta and Phuket in high season. Longtail boats can be chartered to visit the local islands. The other side of the beach is 30km from Krabi Town and about 15 – 20 minutes drive from Ao Nang. It is also possible (before 6pm) to take a longtail boat over to the Ao Nang side of the beach; this takes about 10 minutes.
