Beach Zones (Editorial, Not Official)

North My Khe / Son Tra Side

Newer hotels, quieter sand, rooftops, less An Thuong chaos.

Central My Khe

The classic beach day. Bars, easy hotel access, first-timer friendly.

My An / An Thuong

Beach in front, Da Nang's densest restaurant and cafe grid behind it.

Bac My An

Quieter, resort-leaning, the hinge toward the southern coast.

South Toward Non Nuoc

Where My Khe stops feeling like My Khe. Resort corridor, different beach.

Zone names and boundaries are Da Nang Hotel Guide's own editorial shorthand for talking about this stretch of coast, not official ward or district lines.

Orientation

Which Part Of My Khe?

My Khe is long enough that "the beach" means different things depending where you're standing. Here's the honest breakdown, north to south.

Northern My Khe toward Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang

North My Khe / Son Tra Side

Best for: newer hotels, quieter beach, Son Tra access, rooftops, couples

The stretch that feels newest. Fewer crowds, fewer touts, a straighter shot up to Son Tra Peninsula. Less energy after dark than An Thuong, which for a lot of visitors is the point.

Central My Khe

Best for: first-timers, classic beach day, beach bars, easy hotel access

The postcard stretch. Widest clean sand, the highest concentration of beach bars and loungers, and a hotel strip you can walk out of straight onto the beach. If it's your first trip, start here.

An Thuong neighbourhood streets behind My Khe Beach, Da Nang

My An / An Thuong

Best for: restaurants, cafes, bars, walkability, digital nomads, nightlife

The beach sits right in front. The dense grid of restaurants, coffee shops and bars sits immediately behind it. That combination is why this is probably the best all-around area on My Khe.

Bac My An

Best for: quieter beach, resorts, families, long walks, less nightlife

The hinge between the lively An Thuong strip and the full resort corridor further south. Bigger hotel footprints, more space per guest, noticeably quieter once the sun goes down.

South Toward Non Nuoc

Best for: resorts, quiet, families, golf, Hoi An access

Technically the same sand, but it stops feeling like My Khe. Wider beach, fewer people, big resort footprints. Read the full Non Nuoc Beach guide →

My An / An Thuong

Best Part Of My Khe For Most Visitors

If you only remember one thing from this guide: stay somewhere between central My Khe and An Thuong. You get the beach directly in front and Da Nang's densest restaurant, coffee and bar neighbourhood on a five to ten minute walk behind it.

Grab is cheap and constant here, the hotel selection is the widest on the whole coast, and you're rarely more than a short walk from either the sand or a decent flat white. It's not the quietest part of My Khe and it's not the cheapest, but for stacking beach plus things to actually do, nothing else on this coastline competes.

Sunrise On My Khe

The Best Thing On My Khe Is Free

Da Nang faces east. That's the whole trick. Get up once before 6am, walk down to the sand, and watch the sky over the South China Sea go from grey to pink to gold while the city is still quiet.

You'll have company. Older locals doing tai chi, swimmers doing laps parallel to shore, a few groups mid-conversation over plastic stools and iced coffee. Nobody's selling you anything. It's the most honest hour My Khe has, and it costs nothing.

Back To The Sand

The Beach

Bars are the fun part, but the beach itself is why people come. Here's what a local actually knows about swimming, chairs, and conditions.

My Khe Beach panoramic view, Da Nang, wide sand and clear water

🏊

Swimming

Best March through August, warm and mostly flat. October and November bring typhoon swell and real rip current risk. Never swim on a red flag.

🌅

Sunrise

The beach faces east, so sunrise is the light show. Best window is roughly 5:30-6:30am year-round, earlier in summer.

⛱️

Chairs + Umbrellas

Vendors along the public stretch rent loungers for roughly 30,000-50,000 VND per person. Beachfront hotel loungers are usually free for guests.

🚿

Showers

Public shower and toilet blocks sit at several beach access points on the tourist strip, small fee, bring your own soap.

🍤

Food + Drink

Everything from a 20,000 VND coconut to a full seafood spread. Beach bars cluster in central My Khe and An Thuong's beachfront edge.

🛟

Lifeguards

Present on the tourist section with a colour flag system, green for calm, yellow for caution, red for stay out. This isn't a guarantee, conditions can shift fast.

🌊

Waves

Generally gentle in dry season, choppier and less predictable from September onward. Not a serious surf beach most of the year.

📅

Seasonal Conditions

Dry season (Feb-Aug) is calm and warm. Wet season (Sep-Jan) brings rain, swell, and the occasional storm closure. Plan swimming around the calendar.

Plan Your Day

When To Go

5-7am

Sunrise + Locals

10-3pm

Hot

Direct sun, high UV, thinnest local crowd. Fine with shade and sunscreen, rough without.

3-6pm

Beach + Drinks

Light softens, beach bars fill in, good swimming window returns as heat drops.

6pm+

Dinner + Bars

Seafood on the strip, rooftops light up, An Thuong gets loud a few streets back.

💡 Editorial Tip

Don't just type "My Khe Beach" into Grab. My Khe runs the length of the city's east coast, and a generic pin can drop you kilometres from where you actually want to be. Type your hotel name, or the specific venue, Esco, Maia, Paradise, An Thuong, whatever you're actually headed to. Otherwise you might end up walking twenty minutes along the beachfront in the heat to reach the spot you meant.

Can You Walk My Khe?

Yes, with an asterisk. Within a single stretch, say central My Khe or An Thuong, walking is easy and often the best option. Walking the full length of My Khe, from the northern hotels down to An Thuong or further to Non Nuoc, is a real hike, 40 to 60 minutes depending on where you start. Treat My Khe as several walkable pockets connected by short Grab rides, not one continuous stroll. Full breakdown in the Is Da Nang Walkable guide →

Comparisons

My Khe vs An Thuong

These aren't really two different places, they're two names for two layers of the same stretch of coast. My Khe is the beach and the hotel strip along Vo Nguyen Giap. An Thuong is the dense grid of streets immediately behind it, packed with restaurants, cafes and bars. A beachfront hotel at My Khe puts An Thuong a five to ten minute walk away. The distinction matters mostly for expectations: come for My Khe if the beach is the priority, come for An Thuong if walkable food and nightlife matter more, but staying near where the two meet gets you both without a real tradeoff.

The Bottom Line

Should You Stay At My Khe?

Yes If

You want beach access without giving up restaurants and nightlife
It's your first trip to Da Nang and you want the simplest base
You plan to walk to dinner most nights, not always Grab
You want the widest possible hotel selection at every price point

Maybe Not If

Total quiet matters more than convenience, look at Non Nuoc instead
You want a full resort stay where you rarely leave the property
You're chasing a specific luxury clifftop experience, Son Tra fits better
Noise from beach bars at night would genuinely bother you

Our Take

For most visitors, My Khe, and specifically the stretch near An Thuong, is the right call. It's the only part of Da Nang's coast where you get beach, food, coffee and nightlife all inside a short walk. If your trip is really about the resort itself, or you want guaranteed quiet, go south to Non Nuoc instead. Neither choice is wrong, they're built for different trips.

Common Questions

Is My Khe Beach free?

Yes. The sand and the sea are public and free. You only pay if you rent a lounger and umbrella from a beach vendor or hotel, or if you sit down at one of the beach bars and order something.

Can you swim at My Khe Beach?

Yes, most of the year. Conditions are best from March through August. October and November bring typhoon swell and dangerous rip currents. Always check the flag before going in and never swim on a red flag.

Is My Khe walkable?

Yes, with an asterisk. The beachfront path and An Thuong's grid of streets are genuinely walkable. But My Khe is long, and walking from the northern hotels to An Thuong or Non Nuoc is a 40 to 60 minute walk, not a stroll. Use Grab for anything beyond your immediate stretch.

Which part of My Khe is best?

My An / An Thuong for most visitors. It has beach access plus the restaurant and cafe neighbourhood immediately behind it. Central My Khe is best for a classic first beach day. North My Khe is quieter and newer. South toward Non Nuoc is resort country.

Does My Khe have beach bars?

Yes, a long strip of them along Vo Nguyen Giap Street, from casual sand-chair setups to rooftop lounges and a couple of full nightclubs. Esco Beach and Maia Beach Bar anchor the central stretch, see the full venue directory above.

Is My Khe Beach better than Non Nuoc?

Different jobs. My Khe wins on walkability, restaurants, and nightlife. Non Nuoc wins on quiet, wide sand, and resort quality. Neither is a wrong choice, it depends what your trip is for.

How do I get to My Khe from the airport?

A Grab from Da Nang International Airport to central My Khe takes 10-15 minutes and costs roughly 60,000-90,000 VND ($3-5). Name your actual destination, not just "My Khe Beach", since the beach is long and a generic pin can land you far from where you meant.

Where should I stay near My Khe?

M Hotel Danang and TMS Hotel Da Nang Beach are strong all-around picks. Chicland is the boutique choice with the best rooftop lounge. HAIAN Beach Hotel and Sala Danang sit closer to An Thuong. voco Ma Belle, Radisson, and Peninsula Hotel Danang cover the upper tier. Full breakdown above.
