Ngapali Beach is Myanmar's most renowned beach, located on the coast of Rakhine State facing the Bay of Bengal. This idyllic fine sand beach stretches for several kilometers in a preserved tropical setting. The spot benefits from regular northeast winds during the dry season from November to March, offering pleasant side-shore conditions. The southwest monsoon from May to September brings stronger winds but the sea can be rough. The body of water is open with moderate waves. The bottom is sandy, the beach spacious, and the environment stunning. Spot suitable for intermediate and advanced riders.
