  • City shore

The beach east of the river, the old China Beach: a long arc of sand where the American rest houses stood during the war. Now it is the city shore, not a closed resort.

Known for

The long city arc of sand east of the river, the old China Beach: the shore is open, not a closed resort.

Why go

Morning and late afternoon. At noon the sand burns.

Where to stay

Worth it if the day starts with the sea. The cathedral and the market are then across the river.

The sand is public and runs for kilometres, so pick a stretch by a named access. China Beach is the wartime name of this same shore: Son Tra closes it to the north, the Marble Mountains to the south.

Where to have it

  • O2o First Roast — В жилом переулке Фан Ты к Наму идут за сменой зерна, а не за красивым залом.
  • Puna Coffee — В Ан Тхыонг сюда садятся за собственной обжаркой и утренней выпечкой.
  • The Craftsman — На Фан Ты остаются за классикой на местных спиртах, а в другие вечера за живым джазом или винилом.
  • XLIII Coffee — На Нго Тхи Ши стоит исходная обжарка Ле Дак Тханя, с которой в Дананге начался specialty. Чашка дорогая, зерно привязано к ферме.
