With more than 15kms of pure white sand and clear blue sea, Ngwe Saung is a great place to recharge for a day or two after traveling around Myanmar.
Intended for those with money to burn, don’t expect to find lively night live and beach bars pumping out loud music. You can guarantee rest and relaxation in picturesque surroundings where the hot air is moderated by cool sea breezes blowing through the palm trees.
After a busy day of sunbathing and swimming, you can soothe aching muscles in one of the beauty spas located along the beach, or ride in a bullock cart as the sun sets. Hiring a bicycle is also a good way to explore, and the narrow lanes and roads around Ngwe Saung Beach are in good condition.
Getting There & Away
Tourists can only use the main airport at Yangon and a great way to reach Ngwe Saung Beach is by taking the tourist ferry from the capital. The ferry goes at night and the trip takes around 6 hours, giving you plenty of time to catch some shut eye or look at the stars as you sail.
