This video is a practical guide to spending one day exploring the Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, Vietnam. The host drives from the main beach area, first stopping at Son Tra Marina for a coffee and photos, then visiting the Lady Buddha statue, the tallest in Vietnam, with its temple and gardens. He warns against the nearby Garden of Memories museum, calling it a waste of time and money. The highlight is Ca Chuon (Flying Fish) beach, a former private beach now open to the public for free, where visitors can use the beach, rent glamping tents, and buy drinks. The host notes the food is overpriced and poor quality, recommending eating beforehand. The beach offers clear, deep water and mountain views, feeling remote yet only a 15-minute drive from My Khe Beach. Weekdays are quiet, while weekends feature live music and barbecues. The video also mentions the possibility of seeing monkeys near the Intercontinental Hotel at the peninsula's end.
