Nopparat Thara is part of the National Park and consists of two beaches separated by the Khlong Son River. The beach usually referred to as Nopparat Thara is about 2 kms long and the main road to Ao Nang separates the beach from the restaurants and hotels.

The more pristine beach across the river is usually referred to as Long Beach. Here time stands still as there is no electricity and power is generated by diesel engines.
Long Beach can be reached by long tail boat from the pier (20 Baht one way).
Going by car or motorbike you take the road to Klong Muang and turn left into a newly paved road at the sign 'Private Beach' (about 10 kms).
During High Tide both of the long beaches are ideal for swimming and during low tide you have to walk hundreds of meters before swimming depth can be reached. The sandy beaches are lined by Casuarina trees.

Nopparat Thara main beach is far quieter than Ao Nang. The beach is mostly frequented by Thais. On weekends and bank holidays it can be crowded and you will find mobile foodstalls and vendors driving up and down the road. So just stroll along and take part in local life. You will often be invited to sit down with the locals and share food with them.
