Da Nang's coastline offers some of Vietnam's most accessible and affordable beach experiences, centered on My Khe and My An beaches. My Khe stretches along a long, clean shoreline with turquoise water and white sand, lined with high-rise hotels and seafood restaurants where diners pick live fish, shrimp, or lobster to be cooked per kilo. Beachfront bars like East West Microbrewery serve craft beers with happy-hour deals (three small beers for 190,000 VND). My An, closer to the city center, is busier and more social, with beach clubs such as My Ea and Cala Cala offering lounge vibes and DJs. Practical amenities include lounge chair rentals for 40,000 VND per day (free with a drink purchase at many vendors), foot showers, and public restrooms. Beach massages cost 200,000 VND for 30 minutes and include a free chair and drink. Parasailing runs 750,000–1,200,000 VND. Red flags indicate no-swim zones; yellow flags mark safe swimming areas. The beach path is popular for jogging and cycling, though scooters occasionally use it. For a quieter experience, the stretch between My An and the resorts offers a peaceful picnic spot.
