A 5-hour drive from Yangon brings you to Ngwe Saung beach, Myanmar’s latest beach resort. It is a long stretch of pure fine crystal white sand and deep blue sea, shaded with thousands of coconut trees growing along the beach. The beach stretches 15km along the coast with delightful palms swaying in the breeze from the Bay of Bengal. On the way you san visit the town of Pathein known for its colourful hand-painted parasols.
