Things to do in An Chinh

My Khe Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Da Nang, a beautiful stretch of white sand and clear water. With calm seas and light winds, it is a superb place to visit for a swim, especially if you have young children with you.

Cua Dai Beach offers respite from the heat and crowds of central Hoi An. It is located roughly 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) northeast of the city. The beach is a sizeable stretch of well-kept sand. Though it has its fair share of tourist resorts, Cua Dai is usually fairly peaceful and especially quiet during the week.

Set off on a gentle evening cruise down the Han River and gaze across the water to view the sparkling city skyline. Enjoy a drink in one of the scenic waterfront bars and admire the spectacular bridges that reach across the Han River toward the Son Tra Peninsula.

Non Nuoc Beach sweeps across 5 kilometres (3 miles) of Da Nang’s stunning coastline at the foot of the Marble Mountains. Relax on this beautiful white sandy expanse, flanked by a forest of casuarina trees. Then explore nearby caves and their ancient temples and stone statues.

The Marble Mountains is a set of five rocky outcrops that rise up and dwarf Da Nang. Nestled within these marble and limestone formations are tunnels, caves and Buddhist sanctuaries. Embark on a tour of this popular pilgrimage site, where each mountain is named after a natural element. So there is Wood, Metal, Earth, Fire and Water.

Go on a culinary adventure through Central Market, a riverside marketplace filled with stalls selling herbs, spices, live poultry and fresh produce. Try local specialty dishes and Vietnamese favorites in the food hall and shop for souvenirs and clothing.
