Dawei Rocky Beach

In addition to countless beautiful and unexplored beaches, this sleepy tropical town owns a long history of trade and colonial architecture, with many superb traditional wooden houses decorated finely; thatch-roofed bungalows as well as some brick and stucco mansions. The Shwe Taung Zar Pagoda is the main religious site in Dawei, and is set in a charming little complex.

A short walk following streets lined with colonial era-buildings from the centre of Dawei makes for a very authentic and rewarding experience. In the town centre, the busy Si Pin Tharyar and Minagalar markets are worth a visit – they can be found opposite to each other. Discovering undeveloped beaches by motorcycle is a fun way to explore the peninsula to the west of Dawei like to Tizit beach (about 2 hours) with white sand and clear water.
