Just avoid the main party beaches in Phi Phi and you’ll be fine, check Laem Tong beach for example, beautiful beach to stay.

For day trips check Similan, Rok, Hong islands, Racha, Surin Islands, Maiton, Coral island, all around Phuket

 except it’s not between krabi and phuket, Yao Noi and Yai aren’t as “beautiful” but great islands and a lot less touristed than nearby islands
