Andaman Sea

The Andaman Sea lies between the coasts of Burma and the Malay Peninsula and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the west. Off the Burmese shore, the Moscos Islands and the Mergui Archipelago form chains of islands along its eastern waters. The sea opens northward into the Bay of Bengal and southward toward the Strait of Malacca, linking the Burmese coast with the wider routes of the Indian Ocean.
