World-famous beach on Da Nang's coast, consistently rated as one of Asia's best beaches.

About My Khe Beach

My Khe Beach (Bãi biển Mỹ Khê) is Da Nang\'s premier beach, a long crescent of soft golden sand with warm, swimmable waters from May through September. The beach was known to American soldiers during the Vietnam War as \'China Beach,\' and it has since transformed into a modern resort destination with luxury hotels (Hyatt Regency, Pullman, Furama) lining the oceanfront.

The beach is popular for surfing (best waves November–March), stand-up paddleboarding, and early-morning swimming when locals gather before sunrise for exercise. The beachfront promenade is lined with seafood restaurants serving freshly caught fish, grilled squid, and shellfish at remarkably low prices. Life guard stations and designated swimming zones operate during daytime hours. The Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn), a cluster of five limestone hills with caves, temples, and panoramic views, are visible from the southern end of the beach.
