Area & Beaches
Hat Rai Lay (Rai Lay Beach)
This beach is generally divided into two sections, east and west. West Rai Lay provides visitors with peace and quiet as it is a broad sandy beach with fewer facilities than Ao Nang.
East Rai Lay which lies across the peninsula from West Rai Lay is different from other beaches in the area as it could actually be classified as a mud flat, especially during low tide. In addition to remarkable views and mangrove forests to the north of the beach, the main attraction for visitors to Hat Rai Lay is the adrenaline pumping activity of cliff climbing. The limestone cliffs on the huge headland between Hat Rai Lay East and Tham Phra Nang, as well as other nearby islands provide world-class rock climbing facilities against a stunning backdrop of the sea with approximately 700 sport routes of mid to high difficulty ratings.
