Geography
Kyaukphyu District is made up of a disjointed stretch of coastline on the Rakhine Coast, with the coast made up primarily of mangroves and islands. Ramree Island, the largest island in Myanmar, is located here and seperated from the mainland by mangroves. The smaller island of Manaung is also located here. The eastern border of the district is the ridge of the Rakhine Mountains, which seperate it from the Magway Region.

Transport
Kyaukphyu District is well connected by road, with the most important being the Rakhine Highway running north-to-south on the mainland, and the road connecting Ramree Island to the mainland. There is also a road between the town of Ann and Magway over the Rakhine Mountains.

There are numerous ferry services available in the district, with large terminals at Kyaukphyu, Kokkabyin, and Manaung Island. The district has three airports, one on the mainland in Ann, one at Kyaukphyu, and another on Manaung Island.
