Hoang Sa, the road to Linh Ung
The peninsula north of the beach: forest and the road up to Linh Ung, where the white Buddha faces the bay. This is a drive, not a walk from the door.
Why go
In the morning, before the coaches reach the viewpoint. After lunch the road stalls and the view goes hazy.
Where to stay
No reason to sleep here: there is almost no town on the peninsula. Come from My Khe or the Han.

This is a loop by car or bike, not a walk from My Khe: the Buddha is the viewpoint, and the pagoda stands at its feet. The coast road around the peninsula is the trip, with forest between the stops.
