Setse

Setse[1](Burmese: စက်စဲကမ်းခြေ) is a beach resort on the Gulf of Martaban of the Andaman Sea in Thanbyuzayat Township, of Mon State, in southern Myanmar.[2] The beach itself is composed of brown sand, is quite wide[2] and about 5.6 kilometers long, but the water is often muddy when currents bring down silt from the Salween river which enters the Gulf of Martaban just to the north.[3] Setse has been a resort since the 19th century, and still remains popular.[4]
