Best snorkeling in Krabi

If you are looking for the best snorkeling in Krabi directly from the beach, you may have some hard time finding. Despite its vast coastline, Krabi is not famous for snorkeling off the beach. It is due to jade-colored waters that are not as clear as elsewhere on the nearby Krabi islands. However, on the west coast, some Krabi beaches may satisfy a decent snorkeling session. A secluded Tub Kaek beach would not make the list of the best Krabi beaches for fun and nightlife. Still, it is undoubtedly on top for those who want to taste the private beach and snorkeling experience. If you lounge around under the tall trees for long enough, you can catch a glimpse of the sun as she makes her way back home.
