Besides the ancient city, many beautiful beaches in Hoi An have contributed to developing tourism in this area.
Let’s check these beaches!
The Maps of Hoi An Beaches:
Here are their locations, which allow you to have a quick look.
1. Cua Dai Beach – beautiful sand with a green coconut farm
Located 5km from the center of Hoi City, Cua Dai Beach is one of the famous tourist destinations in Hoi An. The beach has a length of 4km, and its beginning is from the Cua Dai estuary. However, 1 km from Victoria Resort is popular with the public.
Cua Dai Beach attracts visitors from the first moments by the endless stretching of white sand, surrounded by green coconut trees. Staying at Cua Dai Beach, you can look at Cham Island.
Cua Dai Beach was destroyed by the tropical storm, which took the sand away from the seashore, causing the sea deeper. Be careful when you swim!
Although swimming is not the best choice on this beach, you can sit in the shade of a coconut farm to enjoy the breeze from the ocean or lie on a bench under an umbrella to relax.
2. An Bang Beach – a quiet piece of Hoi An tourism
Not far from Cua Dai Beach, An Bang Beach is a paradise for sea lovers. This beach has a wild beauty, being a place for the public to swim in the early morning and late afternoon.
Walking on the smooth white sand of An Bang beach, dotted with strips of purple sea morning-glory flowers, can give you an exciting feeling from the foot and peace of mind.
The waves of An Bang are suitable for those who like to do windsurfing and jumping waves. A few shops here have surfing boards for rent if you do not have your own surfboard.
There are more restaurants in An Bang Beach than in Cua Dai Beach, which can serve you seafood foods.
3. Ha My Beach – one of the most beautiful beaches in Asia
Ha My Beach is located on the coastal route connecting Da Nang City and Hoi An ancient town.
Ha My Beach is a relatively new name on the tourist map of Hoi An, like a sleeping fairy while remaining intact with pure and pristine features.
The beach of Ha My fascinates tourists with white sand, clear blue sea water, rows of poplar trees, and shady coconut palms stretching. Perhaps it is the seductive beauty that Ha My Beach was voted one of the most beautiful beaches in Asia.
Coming to Ha My, you may like to lie down all day on the fine white sand to sunbathe or relax under the green coconut trees. Get great leisure and listen to the waves whisper.
Ha My Beach is further North and connected with An Bang Beach. For only swimming, almost all guests like An Bang, but a few bars and resorts in Ha My Beach can supply a burning night and accommodations to spend time in Hoi An City.
4. Hidden Beach in Hoi An – an escaping place for relaxing
Hoi An Hidden Beach is a short space between Cua Dai and An Bang beaches. This area is a public beach for the locals, so it seems peaceful and pristine.
Coming to this beach, you can rest comfortably. A daily busy life will go by the waves, and your soul opens to feel the beauty of a simple life.
Relax and let your eyes get a limitless view when staying at a seemingly non-existent beach in Hoi An for visitors. Also, bring a book and sunscreen, then you will have a great time breathing the fresh air at Hoi An Hidden Beach.
5. The wild beaches on the south side of the Thu Bon River
The southern coast of the Thu Bon River has been popular only for a few years when the Cua Dai Bridge was inaugurated to connect the two river banks.
However, at present, not many travelers visit these beaches, and not many services there, although Hoi An is trying to develop more hotels and resorts in that area. The prominent entertainment destination here is the Vinpearl Land Hoi An.
If you are interested in exploring the local pristine beaches near Hoi An City, you should cross the Cua Dai Bridge to find them.
- Hoang Dinh Thi Beach is closest to the river, but the way to reach it is difficult, only accessible by bike or motorbike. So, when crossing Cua Dai Bridge, you turn left and continue to ask the local people to find the way to Hoang Dinh Thi Beach.
- Binh Duong Beach is 9 km south of Cua Dai Bridge. This beach is easier to find than Hoang Dinh Thi Beach. Also, Binh Duong Beach has a few small local restaurants on the beach that serve water for swimmers.
- Duy Ha Beach is about 2 km south of Binh Duong Beach. In the sea area, you can find more dining services. Duy Ha Beach is the busiest place in the coastal region in the south part of Hoi An so far.
Please note that the beaches in the south part of Thu Bon River have no safeguards for swimmers. Thus, swimming for tourists is not recommended on those beaches.
Spending time at Hoian beaches makes your holidays more exciting. In the morning, you explore Hoi An Ancient Town, or My Son Sanctuary, and in the afternoon, after 4:00 pm, it is a good time for you to come to these beaches, near the city center.
When choosing An Bang Beach or Cua Dai Beach, the team of Vietnamdrive chooses An Bang Beach because it is better to swim and find tasty seafood easily because more restaurants and bars are available here.
Always take care of yourselves when swimming in the sea to avoid deep water and rip currents. You can swim in the area marked as allowance and when seeing some safeguards around there.
