KYUNN MEE GYI
Imagine no tourists... the Mergui Archipelago
Imagine no tourists... the Mergui Archipelago
- Paul Johnson

The eastern side of Kyunn Mee Gyi has a military base and is off limits. The previously superb dive sites of North and South Sentinel islands have been heavily dynamite fished and as a result have no surviving fish or coral.

KYUNN MEE GYEE SOUTHWEST BAY
67 miles from Kaw Thaung

Anchor in 8 metres on a sandy bottom off the fringing reef in the south bay. There is a superb beach ashore and great jungle walking. The water clarity in this area is exceptional.

KYUNN MEE GYEE WATERFALL BAY
70 miles from Kawthaung

Anchor in 12-15 metres on white sand to the southern side of the bay. The visibility here is so good that you can see the bottom in 30 metres of water.

At the southern end of the beach is a spectacular waterfall that brings crystal clear, cold mountain water down to the beach.

KYUNN MEE GYI (CLARA ISLAND)
More often than not, you'll have Mergui beaches all to yourself
