Ngwe Saung

Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar
🌀Strong rips🏝️Remote

Ngwe Saung—Myanmar's "Silver Beach"—represents true pioneer territory in the Bay of Bengal, where monsoon swells occasionally create surfable waves along a coast that has barely been explored. The developing beach resort area offers basic infrastructure, and the shoulder monsoon seasons (avoiding peak onshore winds) provide the best windows. Political instability has complicated access, but for adventurous travelers, Ngwe Saung offers the rare opportunity to surf a country where the sport is virtually unknown, with uncrowded waves and genuine cultural discovery.
