Lampi Island Marine National Park

The park covers 20,484 hectares of land and sea, containing Lampi Island and smaller islets surrounded by coral reefs and mangrove forests.

Established in 1996 as Myanmar's first marine national park, the protected area received ASEAN Heritage Park status in December 2003.

The Moken sea nomads maintain their traditional fishing practices in the waters around Lampi Island, particularly near the village of Pu Nala.

Visitors can access the park during daylight hours to participate in jungle walks, snorkeling, kayaking, and wildlife observation activities.

The park supports populations of dugongs, sea turtles, and Nicobar pigeons while protecting 50 mangrove species and 60 coral varieties.
