Surf: Northern Myanmar is a patchwork of islands and channels with the best potential on the Baronga Islands opposite the regional capital Sittwe, before heading down to the first known surf spot of The Rock on Cheduba island. This region is generally off-limits for overland travel as the government tries to enforce tourist segregation and a ban on discussing politics between locals and foreigners. A boat charter is the only realistic option, but getting permits will be nigh on impossible.
