Nui Beach — Attraction in Krabi Province

HOW TO GET THERE BY WALKING

Bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent, sneakers, and water. It takes us about 2 hours to get there from the downtown. This is the way we went, we don't know any other way. Google Maps guides you pretty well but at some point, it stops working. It's exhausting and has difficult parts. You need to be in good athletic shape. There's no food there, either bring your own or eat beforehand.

Walk to Viewpoint 1. You have to pay an entry fee of 50 baht per person. Then continue to Viewpoint 2. Here, you can either go up to see the view or exit through the gate (on the west or right side) to reach Viewpoint 3. Continue past the sign that says Bob Bar until you reach a dirt path going downhill. You'll pass some chickens and find a sign next to a descent into the jungle that says Nui Bay. If you don't see it, you can ask at Viewpoint 3. Walk through the jungle for about 40 minutes. There are no signs for Nui Bay, but there are some pointing to Tonsai. Going against these signs is the right direction. Try to follow Google Maps, especially at the forks. Don't go towards the resort, avoid it from the back as indicated by the maps. The path is well marked. Once you finish, you'll come across a road and a sign indicating to go left to reach Nui. You'll then find another sign, continue left towards Lo Lana Bay (not the houses' path, the other dirt path). Once you reach Lo Lana Bay, on the left side, you'll find a sign pointing to Nui Bay. (It was lying on the rocks so it wasn't visible, I'm attaching a photo). There, you need to walk over the rocks until you reach some fishing houses and another sign for Nui Beach. This part is tricky because you have to climb the mountain, there are ropes to help you. This is where you need to be most athletic. And that's it! Once you cross there, the beautiful Nui Bay is down below ❤️

Advice: We wanted to watch the sunset, and it got very dark. We returned the same way through the jungle but it's dangerous. If you return, definitely bring a flashlight. You can't see anything! Try to return while there's still light or check if you can get on a boat. The way back is uphill.

I hope this helps. Maybe kayaking is...

One of the most beautiful white sand pristine turquoise water beaches very close to phiphi tonsai pier & Loh dalum beach!! Just 10 mins by longtail boat.

Let me tell you the way we planned it:

GO EARLY MORNING around 7 to 7:30 AM if possiblem, nobody will be there, itll be your own private beach island until 10AM

We chose a private longtail boat only to NUI beach (just 10 min from Loh dalum beach) did not avail for speedboat packages

Booked after enquiring for best deal in the stall close to the beach itself, costed us 1500 bhat for 2 ppl, 4 hour trip, initially paid only 200 bhat advance the night before

Next day morning 7:15 we were in Loh dalum beach, our longtain boat captain was there, he took us first to a snorkeling point near Loh lana bay, we were not interested, then to Loh lana bay beach (which was not impressive also)

We were in Loh lana bay only for 20 mins, after that we asked him to take us to Nui beach

At 8AM we reached NUI beach, nobody was there. A beautiful pristine beach only for us. Like a private island.

We docked in the beach, took a lot of pics, enjoy some dips in those magical turquoise waters for 2 hours till 10 AM until we were fully happy and ready to leave.

Then as a final point at 10:20 he took us to Money beach, not far from there, it was also a nice beach but some monkeys so can't peacefully take a dip with belongings.

Finally at 11AM we are back to Loh dalum beach.

My suggestion: Skip Loh lana bay, snorkeling and monkey beach,just spend like 2-3 hours relaxing in NUI Beach. You'll not regret it. If you're going as a group,can negotiate a more better price, 500 bhat per person for a 4...

Lovely beach, with beautiful sunsets. Only reached long boats, kayaking or a 1.5 to 2 hour walk from town.

TOP TIPS FOR HIKING THERE: Mostly use google maps, but start by using the path up past Phi Phi Arboreal resort to Viewpoint 1 (50 baht). This saves a lot of pointless walking Continue to Viewpoint 2 where you can go up a bar's balcony (if you buy something) for the highest view on the island. You can exit down the bar's stairs for a shortcut to continue on the paved path Viewpoint 3 is optional (20 baht) and is one minutes walk past the turnoff to the jungle path down to Loh Lana bay/Nui beach The jungle path is unpaved, but well trodden. The numerous branches all seem to go in the same direction. Keen hikers could survive in sandals, but flip flops are a bad idea. It's about 30 minutes downhill on a sometimes rough path with no services/rest stops. Once you exit the path, you get back on a paved road and go left to Loh Lana bay (where's there's a small village & lots of long boats). That's where google maps ends. On the left side of the bay, about 5 minutes along the short (past the locals huts) is the signed path to Nui beach. It's a tough 5 minutes up & down a steep path with roped sections I walked back in the dark (definitely need a flashlight), but you might be able to buy a ride on one of the many long boats. The route back down to Viewpoint 1 was officially closed when I got back, but the...
