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.

Morning and late afternoon. At noon the sand burns.
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.
