My Khe Beach

My Khe Beach

My Khe Beach is a long stretch of sand along Da Nang's coastline in the Son Tra district, facing the East Sea (South China Sea). It's a straightforward beach visit rather than a sightseeing landmark — wide sand, consistent surf, and a paved beachfront promenade lined with restaurants and cafes. The main draw is that it's genuinely close to the city, so it's an easy add-on rather than a day-trip commitment.

Getting there

From central Da Nang, the beach is only a few kilometers away and easily reached by taxi, ride-hailing app (Grab), or rental scooter. The ride typically takes about 10-15 minutes depending on where in the city you start.

How much time to allow

A couple of hours is enough for a swim and a walk along the shore. If you plan to settle in with food and drinks at one of the beachfront places, allow half a day.

When to go

Early morning or late afternoon is more comfortable, since the midday sun can be intense. Weekends and holiday periods tend to draw larger local crowds. Sea conditions vary by season, so check for any posted flag or swimming advisories before going in the water.

Combine it with

The beach is a few kilometers from central Da Nang's river landmarks, making it easy to pair with a beach morning and a city-center afternoon or evening. Nearby options include:

  • Han River Bridge (2.1km)
  • Dragon River Bridge (2.3km)
  • Da Nang Cathedral (2.5km)
  • Roman Catholic Diocese of Đà Nẵng (2.5km)

Dragon River Bridge

Views & landmarks

Dragon River Bridge

This iron bridge across the river is shaped like a dragon, its entire body forming the creature. It's best enjoyed from the riverbank alongside the night view rather than crossed on foot or by car — it lights up after dark, and on weekend evenings the dragon's head sometimes breathes fire or spouts water.
