Ngapali

Not only good sand, good sun
but also good shade available in Ngapali Beach

A mere 25-minute hop by air from Yangon to Thandwe airport, Ngapali is miles and miles of silver sand and crystal clear water lapped by the Bay of Bengal, with little villages clustered under the shade of the palm trees.
 

Local's way of life in Ngapali

Fishermen's boat at Bay of Bagal

Apart from swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling, early morning sees the fishermen setting out or returning from an overnight trip, while the women spread out small fish to dry on Bamboo mats-some are even tucked into their hats. Those fishermen villages are in a walking or bicycle distance away.

The best time to visit the beach is from mid-October to mid-May, when there are daily flights operating to Ngapali from above mentioned places. One can also fly from Bagan or Heho to Ngapali after a completing visit to the highlight destinations.
