Myanmar has a long coastline from the
mouth of the Kissapanadi (Kaladan) River
to the border city Kawthaung, the south
edge of Myanmar. There, many un-spoilt
beaches such as Ngapali, Ngwe Saung
(Silver Beach), Chaungtha and Chaungtha
beaches are famous in Myanmar and are
strongly attractive to the beach lovers.

Ngapali Beach |
 |
|
The name itself is queer and mysterious.
Nobody has yet known why it is called
Ngapali. It is only conjectural that it
is named after the Naples of Italy or a
local fish. But one thing sure is that
the beach is really beautiful with
unspoiled setting, crystal and blue sea,
snow-white sand and gradual slope, among
other things. It scratches about five
miles up to the St. Andrew Bay, where
there is a lighthouse and a quay. There
is a nine-hole golf course close to the
beach. Swaying coconut palms, green
Alexandrian laurels and shady casuarinas
trees fringe and embellish the beach.
Ngapali's sunset against the western
horizon is really breath-taking,
nostalgic and welcoming. The best time
to visit Ngapali is between April 13-15
or 16 so as to enjoy Myanmar most
boisterous New Year Festival. There are
some fishing hamlets near Ngapali. The
beach is fringed by coconut palm groves,
casuarinas trees and Alexandrian laurel
trees. Ngapali is Myanma premier beach,
an ideal place for sun, sea and sand.
The beach stretches out to eye's end.
Tourists usually say, "Au Revoir,
Ngapali! Shall be back soon. "Seeing is
believing!
