Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Book a resort on the southern end of the beach - the water is calmer and the sand is cleaner than the northern section.
Horseback rides at sunset cost around 30,000 MMK ($15) for 30 minutes. Kids as young as 4 can ride with a handler leading.
The beach is virtually empty on weekdays. You might share it with only a dozen other people across the entire 15km.
Bring cash. There are no ATMs on the actual beach strip. The nearest ATM is in the village, 3km away.
The sea is safe for kids but has a mild undertow in spots. Stay within resort roped-off swimming areas.
Fresh seafood is incredibly cheap - a whole grilled snapper with rice costs around $3-4 at a beach shack.
The jellyfish season runs June-September. If visiting then, bring vinegar and check with locals before swimming.

A Real Parent's Story
The quietest beach we have ever seen
“We walked for 2 hours in either direction and saw maybe 5 people. Our kids built sandcastles in total peace.”
Read full story
After the chaos of Yangon, Ngwe Saung was heaven. The beach stretches forever. Our kids ran barefoot in the wet sand, collected shells, and flopped in the gentle waves. We ate grilled fish at a thatched-roof shack for $4. No jet skis. No vendors hassling you. Just the ocean and sky.
