This area is believed to have been a large freshwater swamp home to marine species especially snails. MIllions of years later, the remains of these snails have turn to a fossil state, forming great concrete sheets on the seashore. According to guidebooks, there are only three places in the world where this geological miracle occurs, the other two being California & Japan and this one in Krabi is the only seaside spot among the three.
The area around the fossil shell beach is quite scenic and if you like a quite afternoon with your favorite book or your lover, this is the best place to be in Krabi.
