Setse[1] is a beach resort on the Gulf of Martaban of the Andaman Sea in Thanbyuzayat Township, of Mon State, in southern Burma (Myanmar).[2] The beach itself is composed of brown sand, is quite wide[2] and 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]
Mawlamyaing University has its Marine Science Laboratory in Setse,[5] which studies commercial uses of algae (seaweed), cultured pearl techniques, and produces commercial agar-agar.[6]
