Strand Rd leads about 1.5 miles south to a location called the View Point, where you can watch the sun set over Sittwe Beach , a broad brown strip of sand, and the Bay of Bengal. It was being redeveloped at the time of writing, so there will likely be a restaurant or two here by the time you read this.
Auto rickshaws, known locally as thoun bein, will take you there and back for 5000K, taxis for 10,000K.
