Mergui Archipelago

Mergui Archipelago

The Mergui Archipelago covers an enormous area that features more than 800 islands spread out in the Andaman Sea off the coast between Mergui and Kawthaung. Many islands are still off-limit to visitors and some are home to the Moken, or Sea Gypsies. The pristine untouched beaches and surrounding flora and fauna present a peace and beauty that will enchant nature and beach lovers alike. The beaches that are open to visitors are famous as a destination for diving, snorkeling and sea kayaking.

Ngapali Beach

Ngapali Beach

The most famous beach in Myanmar, Ngapali’s idyllic palm-lined beach is perfectly complemented by the clear blue waters of the Bay of Bengal. As modern resorts and hotels continue to pop up in response to increasing tourist traffic, its fishing-village roots are still preserved through the small fishing boats that can be seen on the horizon, and ox-drawn carts ambling along the beach. Today, the bulk of the local fishermen’s catch is served up in the restaurants and hotels.

Chaung Tha

Chaung Tha

Chaung Tha Beach is a popular tourist spot for both locals and foreign visitors who come to relax in sparkling waters amidst picturesque surroundings. For the more adventurous, Pho Kalar Island and The’ Phyu Island are worth exploring, as well as the tidal mangrove forests nearby. Sip fresh coconut water as you relax on the beach or hunt for red and green crabs in the clear water, then tuck into a feast of the freshest seafood. Be sure to try the crab dishes, which Chaung Tha is famous for.

Ngwe Saung Beach

Ngwe Saung Beach

Ngwe Saung is a newer and lesser known beach compared to more famous ones like Chaungtha Beach. Also called Silver Beach for its 15 km stretch of fine, silvery-white sand, Ngwe Saung is the perfect destination for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday amidst the best of Nature - a beautiful and unpolluted sea, set against a backdrop of tropical rain forests.
