re you looking for your beach vacation for the holidays? Myanmar is a country in South East Asia which is full of cultural and natural resources. There are many untouched and authentic beaches with white sands in Myanmar.
Myanmar Beaches are safe places for women travelers and you can enjoy abundant beach activities along the coast and beach destination areas. Ngwe Saung Beach is just one beautiful and perfect place that I would like to recommend to you.
I am a girl who loves to explore the beaches. So, if you are beachlovers, I will tell you about the beach tips for Ngwe Saung based on my experience.
Basic Information about Ngwe Saung Beach
It is a famous beach in Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar. Ayeyarwaddy is the delta region which is situated in the southern part of Myanmar. Ngwe Saung Beach is famous for its clean water, idyllic scenery, authentic nature, nice accommodation, long coast, beach activities and delicious seafood. It takes about 6 hours from Yangon. Tourists can visit Ngwe Saung by private cars or tour buses.
The Way to Ngwe Saung
There is only one way to Ngwe Saung Beach, Myanmar. If you are a solo woman traveler, traveling with the tour bus is safe and comfortable. Ticket prices are affordable and the bus will pick you up from your home to the hotel in Ngwe Saung where you can stay. The road is nice and you will pass the low hills before arriving at the beach.
For me, I have been to Ngwe Saung several times but this time I went there with Shwe Nagar Bus Company. On the way, they stop at the local restaurant near the town of Nyaungdon. As the bus is a morning bus, I had my breakfast at this restaurant named Pyi Gyi Mandai. You can see the green and city environment when passing through several towns of Ayeyarwady Region.
Accommodation Tips
There are a lot of nice accommodations at Ngwe Saung Beach. From my point of view, we can divide two types of hotels near the downtown area and beach hotels. If you choose the hotels near downtown, you can visit the local markets, buy local food, souvenirs and go to the restaurants by taking a walk. But if you love to stay quiet and relaxed at night, you should relax in the more isolated hotels that are very close to the ocean.
For me, I stayed at the Silver Coast Beach Hotel in Ngwe Saung Beach. Everything is ok with this hotel-local style beach bungalows, nice seafood at the Ngwe Saung hotels and their services. All women can stay safely and happily at the Ngwe Saung best accommodations of Myanmar. You can book the hotels via online, especially on their Facebook pages.
