Ngapali Beach

For those seeking a little relaxation after a busy trip exploring the country’s many highlights, Ngapali Beach is the place to come. Fringed by wavering palm trees, the sugar white beaches dip down into the clear waters of the Bay of Bengal whilst the area itself still very much retains its unspoilt, traditional fishing-village roots with the locals heading out each day to catch the spoils to be served up in the restaurants that day.

• Visit a traditional fishing village
• Relax on the golden beaches of Ngapali
• Explore the bay by bicycle
• Jump on board a ‘fishing’ boat trip

The area is wonderfully peaceful and relaxing, yet for the active, there are plenty of activities such as windsurfing, sailing, fishing and snorkelling. You can also explore the area by bicycle with some interesting markets and pagodas or head out in a small boat to explore the shoreline and the pretty little fishing villages along the coast.
