My Khe Beach
Bãi biển Mỹ Khê
Forbes magazine once ranked it among the world's most beautiful beaches. This 30-kilometre stretch of fine white sand lies right along the city's hotel strip.
My Khe Beach lies on the east bank of the Han River and runs south from Son Tra Peninsula to Marble Mountains. The sand is fine and gently sloping, the water is clear, and the beach is close to town, so you can walk there from the coastal hotels. It is free and open all day, with lifeguard stands and showers. Renting a sun lounger and umbrella costs about 50,000 to 100,000 VND. The best times are early morning, from 5:00 to 6:00 am, to watch the sunrise and swim with locals, or evening, to stroll along the sand and watch fishermen haul in their nets. During the day you can try surfing lessons, kayaking or jet-skiing. Võ Nguyên Giáp Street along the beach is lined with seafood restaurants. In the evening, order seafood priced by weight, but confirm the price first. A taxi from Dragon Bridge takes only about 10 minutes, or you can walk across the bridge. Notes: In summer, the midday UV is strong, so swim before 10:00 am or after 4:00 pm. In the rainy season, when waves are high, red flags go up to prohibit swimming, so follow the warnings. Do not leave valuables unattended on the sand.
