Myanmar︱Ngwe Saung Beach

Ngwe Saung Beach

Ngwe Saung is located in Ayeyarwady Region and takes a five-hour drive from Yangon. Since Ngwe Saung is equipped with comprehensive public facilities and unpolluted beaches, it has become the resort paradise in Myanmar. 

On the beach of Ngwe Saung, people rely on horses, bullock carts, bicycles and motorbikes as a means of transportation, creating a unique scene. There are many vendors, usually women or children, on the beach. They do not shout nor importune customers in order to sell their products. They travel around the beach and only stop at visitors’ requests. The roasted fish, prawns and seafood are fresh, tasty and inexpensive. The quality is comparable to the seafood restaurants in downtown. Ngwe Saung only has one major commercial street with grocery stores, restaurants, fruit stores and souvenir shops. Many tourists, when they visit Ngwe Saung, would visit a nearby elephant training camp to have a close interaction with elephants.
