On the outskirts of Dawei, take a taxi about one to a few hours to there and one quite close to Maungmagan Beach (on the way to Maungmagan from Dawei).
This popular beach served as a retreat for the British during colonial days. The beach hosts a long line of palm huts housing family seafood restaurants.
14 km south of Maungmagan lies a small causeway to a beautiful small island crowned by a pagoda.
Teyzit beach is a very calm wide strand. To reach it you have to cross a stretch of saltmarsh. Depending on the tide this marsh might be flooded once you want to return with your motorbike. But friendly guys on their boats will take care of you. The road is also quite tricky on a motorbike. The beach just north of Teyzit beach is actually much more beautiful. The marker on the map (right) gives the coordinates for this smaller beach.
One of the most pristine and beautiful beaches in Southeast Asia. Two hours away from Dawei. 1,500 m long and 50 m wide empty beach with white sand, clear water and stunning waves sometimes. In rainy season between June and October it can be impossible to reach.
