An Bang Beach

In addition to centuries-old Buddhist temples, colonial shophouses, handcrafted lanterns, and quaint museums in Old Town, Hoi An is home to a number of beautiful beaches, including An Bang. A separate destination in the north of Cua Dai beach with a 4km stretch of sand is a 10-minute journey from Hoi An old town by automobile. Locals used to underestimate An Bang beach. Cua Dai beach became popular among tourists when it was eroded. It is one of the few beaches that has not been seriously harmed by construction.

CNN named An Bang Beach one of the world's top 100 best beaches. An Bang looks especially attractive with rows of thatched umbrellas and reclining lounge chairs on the powdered sand, as well as white-crested waves and blue ocean and sky. While relaxing on the beach, you can see the adjacent mountains, Da Nang Bay, and the distant Cham Island.

Swimming, paddle boarding, and surfing are popular activities on the beach. All of these activities can help you make the most of your day in the sun. Locals generally come here to swim in the morning and to wander along the shoreline in the evening. When you follow the natives' lead, you will feel extremely at ease.

Picnics or nighttime barbecues are also excellent activities at the beach. The neighborhood is a little laid-back, and there are no high-rise buildings yet. Visitors should come now and appreciate the seascape while it is still in its pristine state.

The months of February to May are ideal for a visit. If you plan to arrive by motorcycle or bicycle, remember to park near the beach's entrance to prevent scammers.
