Maungmagan is a village and beach located approximately 12 kilometers north-west of Dawei, the capital of Taninthayi Division.^[1] It is the second oldest beach locale established in Myanmar after Ngapali.^[2]

It is approximately 45-minutes drive away from Dawei and 75 minutes flight from Yangon, the principal city of Myanmar. It was a popular beach destination in Myanmar until the establishment of Chaungtha which was much more closer to Yangon. The beach is being redeveloped by the Burmese government as a stop over for the much promoted ecotourism to the Myeik Archipelago ^[3]
