Summary Table of 9 Beaches in Da Nang

When Is the Best Beach Season in Da Nang?

The most popular time to enjoy Da Nang beaches is usually from May to August. During this period, the weather is relatively dry, the sun is bright, the sea is blue, and conditions are favorable for activities such as swimming in Da Nang, SUP paddling, surfing, or walking along the beach in the early morning. This is also the peak travel season, so beaches such as My Khe Beach and Non Nuoc Beach tend to be more crowded, especially on weekends and during summer holidays.

From around September to April of the following year, Da Nang may experience periods of heavy rain, strong winds, or rough seas. If you plan to visit the beach during this time, you should check the weather forecast, warning flags, and lifeguard information before entering the water. For a more comfortable outdoor experience, visit the beach early in the morning or after 4:00 PM to avoid the strong Central Vietnam sun.

My Khe Beach

• Location: Vo Nguyen Giap Street, Phuoc My, Son Tra, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: First-time visitors, travelers of all ages, families, and groups of friends who enjoy a lively atmosphere and convenient services.
• Activities: Swimming, surfing, parasailing by speedboat, jet skiing, jogging, and watching the sunrise.
• Facilities: Very complete. Public swimming areas, freshwater showers, changing rooms, beach chair and umbrella rentals, professional lifeguard teams, many seafood restaurants, beachfront bars, and nearby hotels.

My Khe Beach is an easy and convenient choice for first-time visitors to Da Nang, families, groups of friends, and travelers who want to combine swimming with dining and seaside entertainment.

This area has public swimming zones, freshwater showers, changing rooms, umbrella and chair rentals, lifeguards, and many seafood restaurants near the beach. Visitors can swim, jog, watch the sunrise, try surfing, ride a jet ski, or experience parasailing when weather conditions are suitable.

My Khe Beach was once named by Forbes among the most beautiful beaches on the planet, thanks to its soft sand, warm water, and location close to the city center. When swimming, you should pay attention to warning flags and ask lifeguards before entering the water, especially around the T20 and T18 areas, where waves and water depth can be stronger at certain times.

Pham Van Dong Beach

• Location: Vo Nguyen Giap Street, An Hai, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Local residents, families, and travelers looking for a spacious, safe swimming area with community events.
• Activities: Swimming, beach teambuilding, beach volleyball, and walking through the seaside park.
• Facilities: One of the most modern public beach areas, with spacious parking, a shaded park, clean shower and changing areas, and a seaside stage for events.

Pham Van Dong Beach is a suitable choice for families thanks to its wide sandy shore, blue seawater, and closely connected public facilities. This area can welcome a large number of visitors each day, especially in summer. If you want a more comfortable swimming experience, it is best to avoid peak weekend hours.

Bac My An Beach

• Location: Sao Bien, Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Luxury resort travelers, couples, and families looking for privacy and a quieter atmosphere.
• Activities: Relaxing beach swims, resort stays, seaside spa services, and refined dining experiences.
• Facilities: High-end facilities from nearby resorts, including private sun loungers, beachfront infinity pools, and upscale bars. The public swimming area here is smaller.

Bac My An Beach has fine sand, relatively clear water, and a quieter atmosphere than many central beach areas. It is a suitable choice for travelers looking for a gentle resort-style escape or families traveling with young children. When swimming, prioritize calmer sections of the beach and check safety warning flags before entering the water.

Tien Sa Beach

• Location: Yet Kieu Street, Son Tra, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Young groups of friends, office groups on picnics, nature lovers seeking quiet surroundings, and wedding photography.
• Activities: Overnight camping, BBQ gatherings, teambuilding, safe swimming thanks to the sheltered location and gentle waves, and check-ins around the rocky shore.
• Facilities: Located inside the Tien Sa eco-tourism area. Tent rentals, shaded huts, basic dining services, and shower areas are available.

Tien Sa Beach feels more separated from the city center, making it suitable for visitors who want a quiet place to relax or camp on the weekend. The beach has clear blue water, clean sand, and many viewpoints toward the slopes of Son Tra Mountain. The access road includes a few slopes and small curves, so you should drive carefully and check the weather before visiting during periods of strong wind.

Non Nuoc Beach

• Location: Truong Sa Street, Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Resort travelers, nature lovers, and visitors combining the beach with a trip to the Marble Mountains scenic area.
• Activities: Walking along the long white sandy beach, surfing during the windy season, playing golf by the sea, and practicing sunrise meditation or yoga.
• Facilities: Public swimming areas are interspersed with international-standard resorts, golf courses, and seafood restaurants. The beach is very clean and well maintained.

Non Nuoc Beach features a long coastline, fine white sand, and a more open atmosphere than many beach areas closer to central Da Nang. From the beach, visitors can enjoy a close view of the Marble Mountains scenic area. This landmark is not only known for its cave systems and distinctive limestone formations, but also for Linh Ung Pagoda at the Marble Mountains, a spiritual stop that attracts many visitors who combine beach relaxation with mountain exploration.

Non Nuoc Beach was once selected by Forbes as one of the world’s beautiful beaches, thanks to its natural harmony of blue sea, white sand, and majestic mountains. If you visit in summer, avoid the intense midday sun and prepare sunscreen and drinking water for a more complete experience.

Nam O Beach

• Location: Nam O 1, Hai Van, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Explorers, backpackers, nature photographers, and travelers who want to experience local fishing village culture.
• Activities: Watching sunrise or sunset, photographing Nam O Reef especially during the early-spring green moss season, swimming at the small sandy beach, and tasting the local specialty Nam O fish salad.
• Facilities: Limited modern tourism facilities. Most services are simple eateries and local cafés run by residents. Take extra care because the rocky reef has many sharp oysters and there are not always lifeguards on duty.

Nam O Beach is suitable for travelers who enjoy raw natural landscapes and the rhythm of local fishing village life. Nam O Reef attracts many visitors in early spring when green moss covers the coastal rocks. When exploring this area, check the tide before walking onto the reef, wear non-slip shoes, and avoid going too far because the rocks can be sharp and lifeguards are not always present.

Thanh Binh Beach

• Location: Ong Ich Khiem Street, Da Phuoc Urban Area, Hai Chau, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Local residents, students, and visitors who want to walk and enjoy the cool sea breeze in the late afternoon or evening.
• Activities: Walking, exercising along the seawall, relaxing in the breeze, and observing the everyday rhythm of life around Da Nang Bay. Fewer people swim here because of its location inside the bay.
• Facilities: Wide sidewalks for strolling, with many sidewalk food stalls, casual drink shops, and fried fish ball carts along the road. There are no professional public shower facilities like those on the eastern beach side.

Thanh Binh Beach is close to the city center, so it is easy to visit if you want to take a walk, enjoy the sea breeze, or find a gentle coastal space at the end of the day. Because it sits inside the bay, it is less commonly chosen for swimming than My Khe or Pham Van Dong Beach. On weekends, the area often attracts many local residents who come to exercise and relax.

Nguyen Tat Thanh Beach

• Location: Lot B1 Pham Dinh Ho Street, Hoa Khanh, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Groups of friends gathering for casual food and drinks, sunset lovers, especially because this northwestern coast offers beautiful sunset views, and couples taking a walk.
• Activities: Watching the sunset over Da Nang Bay, flying kites, fishing, and enjoying affordable roadside seafood.
• Facilities: A long row of casual seafood restaurants at reasonable prices, along with drink carts. There are several paths down to the beach, but full swimming services such as buoys, lifeguards, and showers are not as complete as at My Khe Beach.

Nguyen Tat Thanh Beach is located in the northwest of the city, so many people choose it for sunset views and late-afternoon sea breezes. The space here feels open and relaxed, making it suitable for gentle walks or casual meals with friends. If you want to swim, choose a calmer section, and avoid entering the water in the evening or when the sea is rough.

Lang Van Beach

• Location: Hai Van, Da Nang, Vietnam
• Best For: Trekkers, adventure backpackers, camping groups who enjoy survival-style experiences, and travelers looking to be completely away from the city.
• Activities: Mountain trekking, or hiring a boat from the bay, overnight camping, campfires, swimming at an untouched beach, collecting snails, and fishing.
• Facilities: No facilities at all. This is a secluded natural beach, so visitors must be fully self-sufficient, bringing their own drinking water, food, tents, and medical supplies, and must clean up all trash before leaving.

Lang Van Beach lies at the foot of Hai Van Pass and still preserves a more untouched atmosphere than many other beaches in Da Nang. To reach it, visitors usually need to trek for a section or hire a boat from the bay. Since the area remains wild and some projects may be under development nearby, you should check access conditions before the trip and avoid spontaneous overnight camping if you do not have outdoor experience.

Tips for Swimming at Da Nang Beaches

Da Nang has many beautiful and easy-to-access swimming areas, but your beach experience will be more comfortable if you prepare carefully before the trip. Checking the weather, choosing the right beach, and following lifeguard guidance will help reduce risks during outdoor activities.

• Check the weather before going: Look for rain, wind, and rough sea warnings, especially from September to April.
• Observe safety flags: Swim only within buoy-marked areas and where lifeguards are on duty.
• Prepare personal items: Sunscreen, sunglasses, a waterproof bag, and drinking water are useful items to bring when visiting Da Nang beaches.
• Choose the right beach: Families with young children should prioritize gentler wave areas such as Pham Van Dong Beach or Bac My An Beach.
• Keep the beach clean: Collect trash after eating, drinking, or camping to keep the beach clean and safe for everyone.
