ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Shell Fossil Beach Cemetery is a large rock slab off the coast, gradually going under water. This plate is formed from shell rock and was formed 75 million years ago, its thickness is about 40 cm. Nearby there are mangroves, where paved trails lead, and you can also walk along the beach. There is also a small conditional open-air museum with samples of plates and information.
The road to the Cemetery passes through a green park with gazebos and benches and leads to the ticket office, which almost never has an usher and can be passed for free. Even if there is an usher at the ticket office, you can get to the slabs for free on another path. Of course, the sale of souvenirs from shells is organized here.
In general, visiting this place is a dubious pleasure, also considering that you will have to travel quite a long way to it. And although the cemetery is located between Ao Nang and Krabi Town, you actually have to make quite a big detour to get to it. And if you decide to visit the shell cemetery, then be sure to check out the Krabi Aquarium, which is on the way.

Access to the cemetery of shells is never closed, but it is better to visit during the daytime.
