Vietnam, a country with over 3,000 km of coastline, is home to some of the world's most stunning and charming beaches[1]. From the UNESCO-designated Ha Long Bay shores to the rolling dunes of Mui Ne and the island getaways of Con Dao and Phu Quoc, here are some of the best places to enjoy Vietnam’s surf, sun, and sand.
Beach Name | Image | Description |
---|---|---|
An Bang Beach, Hoi An | Just 3km north of Hoi An, An Bang is one of Vietnam’s most happening and enjoyable beaches. There’s a wonderful stretch of fine sand and an enormous horizon, with only the distant Cham Islands interrupting the seaside symmetry. Staying at the beach and visiting Hoi An on day trips is a good strategy for a relaxing visit to the area. | |
Phu Quoc | Fringed with white-sand beaches and large interior tracts still cloaked in dense tropical jungle, Phu Quoc has rapidly morphed from a sleepy island backwater to a must-visit beach escape. With its picture-perfect white sand and mineral-water clear sea, Sao Beach is probably the pick of the lot. Island hopping tours visit the islands off of Phu Quoc’s southern coast or its lesser-visited northern coast. | |
Nha Trang | Forming a magnificent sweeping arc, Nha Trang’s 6km-long golden-sand beach is the city’s trump card. Sections are roped off and designated for safe swimming. Two popular lounging spots are the Sailing Club and Louisiane Brewhouse. If you prefer tanning alone, head south towards the airport to avoid the majority of the crowds. | |
Con Son | Isolated from the mainland, the Con Dao islands are one of Vietnam’s star attractions. Long the preserve of political prisoners and undesirables, they now turn heads thanks to their striking natural beauty. Con Son, the largest of the chain of 15 islands and islets, is ringed with lovely beaches, coral reefs, and scenic bays, and remains partially covered in tropical forests. | |
Non Nuoc Beach, Da Nang | Non-Nuoc Beach in Da Nang City is another must-visit beach destination in Vietnam. It is known for its soft white sands, gentle slopes, and clear waters. The beach also offers a stunning view of the Marble Mountains. |
