Introducing Chaungtha Beach
This beach is incredibly popular on weekends and holidays, with locals having fun in the sun and sea – fully clothed. Come during the week for some solitude. The best stretch of sand is a 15-minute walk north of town. Chaungtha is a bumpy 40km west of Pathein.

Boats head out to Whitesand Island (one way K4000, one hour) at 8am, returning at 5pm. It’s a good place for swimming and snorkelling, although there are only three trees for shade. The market (6-9am) is a lively vestige of a time before tourism; it comes to life when the catch comes in.
