Ngapali Beach, Coastal resort in Rakhine State, Myanmar
The seven-kilometer stretch of white sand beach features three distinct bays bordered by palm trees and traditional fishing villages along the Bay of Bengal.
The beach received its name from British colonists who found similarities with Naples, Italy, and developed it into a seaside destination during their administration.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices, departing at dawn in wooden boats and returning with fresh catches that supply beachfront restaurants.
Thandwe Airport connects visitors with daily flights from Yangon, while beach hotels operate primarily from October through April during the dry season.
The 18-hole golf course positioned between the beach resorts and airport offers players views of both the Bay of Bengal and mountain ranges.
