Park

Ao Nang Beach itself isn't the most comfortable or scenic. Yes, it's where the activities and night cafés are, and boats to the islands and nearby Railay Beach depart from here. However, the beach is heavily affected by low tides, as are most beaches in the Krabi region. So before planning to spend the whole day on the sand, check what the beach is like today and whether it's actually swimmable or you'll have to walk half an hour from the shore to find any depth.
