Ngapali Beach

Ngapali Beach

Myanmar's long, white sand beaches remain pristine and uncluttered by people, shops or bars. They offer a perfect get-away holiday. Ngapali Beach is the best, with large grain whiter sands and crystal clear sapphire colour waters, many luxury hotels and fresh sea food caught by fishermen who live just beyond a bend in a village.

Ngwe Saung Beach

15 km long Ngwe Saung Beach lies further south on the same western coastline with fine white sand and it is only about four hours' drive from Yangon, passing through the port town of Pathein with a history going back for centuries. There they make the gaily painted silk parasols and the dark red monks' umbrellas.
