To ensure visitors enjoy safe and peaceful trips, authorities have arranged leisure services including bicycle rentals, motorboat rides and horse riding, alongside stalls selling local cuisine, consumer goods and souvenirs.

The Ngwetaung Beach in Hainggyikyun, Ngaputaw Township, Ayeyawady Region, attracted 29,755 domestic visitors in January, and traveller arrivals are on the rise, according to Daw Ni Ni Mar, an executive of the Myanmar Tourism Entrepreneurs Association (Ngwetaung Beach).

Located near the Myat Mawtinsun Pagoda, the Ngwetaung Beach is a popular year-round destination for local travellers. Most visitors reportedly come from Yangon Region and the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area.

“In December 2025, 22,745 domestic travellers visited the Ngwetaung Beach. In January 2026, the number rose to 29,755. Visitor arrivals are steadily increasing, and the beach continues to welcome travellers throughout the year. Last month, there were many travellers during the long holidays. The Mawtinsun Pagoda Festival will start soon, so pilgrims will also come here, leading to more visitors to the beach,” Daw Ni Ni Mar said.

To ensure visitors enjoy their trips in a safe and peaceful environment, arrangements have been made for leisure activities and services such as bicycle rentals, motorboat rides, and horse riding. In addition, stalls offer local food, consumer goods, and souvenirs.
