Chaungtha Beach

Chaungtha Beach, one of the Beach Myanmar Ayeyarwaddy, 40 km west of the Pathein on the bay of Bengal, is a chance to experience what the Myanmar middle class does on Myanmar vacation. Chaungtha beach gets especially crowded on holiday weekends when local tourists are ferried in by the Myanmar busload. As western beaches go, the sand and water aren't as pristine as nearby NgweSaung or Ngapali in Myanmar. At low tide the very wide beach Myanmar Ayeyarwaddy has a touch of the muddy delta's look though there is a gorgeous long, white sand beach only a 15 minute walk north of town Chaungtha where you're likely to have the entire expanse to yourself save for the rare local or other foreigners of Myanmar scouting for privacy and a little shade. The Myanmar village of Chaungtha itself is a few blocks of guesthouses, restaurants and souvenir shops selling T shirts.
