Destinations
As Myanmar has the long costal, there is several beaches. We recommend only three of them for leisure tourists as per below:
Ngapali Beach
The very broad, pristine stretch of sand known as Ngapali beach reaches over three km, and is separated from several more beaches by small, easily negotiated rocky headlands. It is the prettiest in Myanmar, backed by swaying palms and casuarinas, the Ngapali area is a good place to relax and take a break from the stress.
The water is transparent and the sea is tranquil.
We can tour several of the villages by bicycles. If we choose to walk along the beach to the villages, we will pass large areas of the beach where the villager’s sun-dry fish, shrimp and coconut on cane mats spread over the sand. Mini-golf playing, fishing, volley playing, wind surfing and hobie-cat, catamaran sailing can be done.
It can be reached there by flight from Yangon to Ngapali and there is direct flight from Mandalay/Heho (Inle Lake)/ Bagan direct to Ngapali in the peak season. Even though there is land route from Pyay or Yangon, it is not suggested because the road is not good enough to travel and it takes very long time.
It is recommended from 15th October to 15th May only.
There are various accommodations in Ngapali ranging from guesthouses to five stars resorts.
