Tubkaak Beach: what to do and where to stay
By Paula Parker
Tubkaak Beach is one of the most tranquil beach destinations in Krabi, stretching almost 2 kilometres in length.
From the beach you can take in the most stunning views across to the Hong Islands, a group of small limestone islands located within the Than Bok Khorani National Marine Park.
Tubkaak beach is possibly one of the most picturesque and secluded beaches in Krabi, to find this hidden gem you only need to travel 10 minutes by car from Klong Muang Beach, or 25 minutes drive from Ao Nang.
The beach itself is quiet shallow even when the tide is high, at low tide it is a great area for spotting crabs, starfish and other sea creatures crawling across the sand.
For those who are adventurous Tubkaak beach sits at the base of the Kao Hang Nak Natural Forest, where you will find walking trails and a view point at the top.
As with all beaches in Krabi, you won't find sunbeds lining the beaches, so if you plan on visiting Tubkaak beach for only a few hours while you are in Krabi, bring along a beach towel.
Or alternatively, why not spend a few nights in one of the beachfront resorts.
