Ngapali Beach

Ngapali Beach

The name itself is queer and mysterious. Nobody has yet known why it is called Ngapali. It is only conjectural that it is named after the Naples of Italy or a local fish. But one thing sure is that the beach is really beautiful with unspoiled setting, crystal and blue sea, snow-white sand and gradual slope, among other things. It scratches about five miles up to the St. Andrew Bay, where there is a lighthouse and a quay. There is a nine-hole golf course close to the beach. Swaying coconut palms, green Alexandrian laurels and shady casuarinas trees fringe and embellish the beach.

Ngapali’s sunset against the western horizon is really breath-taking, nostalgic and welcoming. The best time to visit Ngapali is between April 13-15 or 16 so as to enjoy Myanmar most boisterous New Year Festival. There are some fishing hamlets near Ngapali. The beach is fringed by coconut palm groves, casuarinas trees and Alexandrian laurel trees. Ngapali is Myanma premier beach, an ideal place for sun, sea and sand. The beach stretches out to eye’s end. Tourists usually say, “Au Revoir, Ngapali! Shall be back soon. “Seeing is believing!
