Beach hotels in Da Nang
Da Nang sits on Vietnam's central coast between the Marble Mountains and the Son Tra Peninsula, with My Khe Beach running along the city's eastern edge. A working port and the Han River sit only minutes from several kilometres of open sand, so a beach stay here still comes with a real city attached.
Hotels by the beach in Da Nang line My Khe, the long sand strip that runs from the mouth of the Han River south toward Non Nuoc and the Marble Mountains. Da Nang pairs a genuine working city, Dragon Bridge, the riverside market, container ships queuing for the port, with a beach district that only really took shape over the last decade, so glass towers with sea-view rooms now sit a few streets from older guesthouses. The sand itself runs wide and flat, popular with surfers from October to March and swimmers from April through August, while Son Tra Peninsula closes the bay to the north and blocks the worst of the winter swell. Families tend to settle on the calmer stretch near Pham Van Dong, couples more often pick the boutique addresses closer to Bac My An.

What to expect
- My Khe Beach, a long sand strip locals still call China Beach
- Son Tra Peninsula and its pagoda-topped headland closing the bay to the north
- Dragon Bridge and the Han River promenade, a short drive inland from the sand
- Marble Mountains and Non Nuoc village at the beach's southern end
- Surf season roughly October to March, calmer swimming water April to August
Local tips
- ✓Book east of Vo Nguyen Giap street if beach access matters more than price, the avenue itself blocks a direct sea view from anything set back.
- ✓Rent a scooter or use Grab for the run out to Ba Na Hills, it is inland and not a beach-day trip.
- ✓Swim on the flagged sections near the Pham Van Dong stretch, the current picks up further south toward Non Nuoc.
- ✓Visit Son Tra Peninsula early morning before the tour buses fill the road up to the pagoda.
- ✓Walk or cycle the beachfront path rather than the main avenue, it stays closer to the sand and the fishing boats.
Where to stay
FAQ
What are the best beaches in Da Nang?
My Khe is the main strip along the city centre, with Bac My An and Non Nuoc continuing south toward the Marble Mountains; all three share the same open sand and moderate surf.
Does Da Nang have sandy beaches?
Yes, My Khe and its southern extensions are wide, flat sand rather than rock or shingle, which is a large part of why the city built up as a beach destination.
When is the best time to go to the beach in Da Nang?
April to August brings the calmest water and driest weather for swimming, while the wetter, rougher months from October to December suit surfers more than families.
Where is the best place to stay near the beach in Da Nang?
The stretch of Vo Nguyen Giap and the streets just east of it, roughly between Pham Van Dong and Bac My An, put most hotels within a short walk of the sand.
