Beach Tripping In Myanmar

Myanmar, also known as Burma, is not nearly as developed or touristed as neighboring Thailand. This being said, don’t expect raving nightlife or swarms of people.

Instead, expect a local experience on beautiful beaches yet untouched by the tourism industry. So, choose from our list of the best beaches to visit in Myanmar and you won’t be disappointed.

1. NGAPALI BEACH

While the beach is continuing to grow the amenities, there are still a variety of activities to choose from.

These include snorkeling, cycling, kayaking, golf, and hiking in the mountains nearby. The accomodations can run from a twenty dollar small beach hut to an over two hundred dollar hotel suite. 

2. NGWE SAUNG

With delectably fresh seafood and brilliant chefs making a living here, you will fall in love with the fish, lobster, crab, and shrimp dishes made to order.

Popular with locals, this beach will have many characters, from young families on horseback to elderly folk sunbathing, along with monks collecting their morning alms along the beach.

3. CHAUNG THA

4. MAUNGMAGAN AND THE SURROUNDING BEACHES

As you venture south along the coast from Dawei, you will first reach Maungmagan beach, then others like sin Htauk, Grandfather’s, and Paradise beach.

Maungmagan beach was a popular landing spot for Brits years ago, so you will see remnants and touches of their influence. But, as you go further south, the beaches will get more and more secluded.
