20 Best Things to Do in Da Nang (2027): Prices & Tips

Best Beaches and Nature Spots in Da Nang

Da Nang’s beaches and its green northern headland are at their best early in the morning, before the heat builds and while locals are out exercising.

1. My Khe Beach – When to Swim and Where to Go

My Khe beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world

My Khe is Da Nang’s main city beach, a long stretch of soft sand running south from the Son Tra Peninsula, with a paved promenade for most of its length. At sunrise, crowds of locals swim, jog and play beach games before work. By midday it belongs to tourists and sun loungers, and the seafood restaurants across the road fill up after dark.

• Where: along Vo Nguyen Giap Street on the beach side, about 10 minutes by car from the city centre.
• Best time: 05:00 to 07:00 for the local scene; late afternoon for a swim without the midday sun.
• Cost: free; sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented.
• Time needed: 2 to 3 hours.
• Quieter options: Non Nuoc Beach, near the Marble Mountains, is lined with resorts; My An Beach has surf schools and beach bars.
• Tip: swim only in the flagged zones with lifeguards; from October to December the waves are often too strong for swimming.

2. Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain) – Viewpoints and Wildlife

Son Tra Peninsula, a forested headland just north of Da Nang city, with quiet coves, coastal roads, and a protected habitat for the red-shanked douc langur.

Son Tra, nicknamed Monkey Mountain, is a forested nature reserve rising straight out of the sea north-east of the city. A paved road loops around it past quiet coves and viewpoints over Da Nang Bay. The forest is home to macaques and the rare red-shanked douc langur, which you may spot in the treetops on a quiet morning.

• Where: north-east of My Khe Beach; Hoang Sa Street leads onto the peninsula.
• Best time: early morning, when the road is quiet and the light over the bay is soft.
• Cost: free.
• Time needed: half a day by car or motorbike.
• Paragliding: tandem flights launch from the peninsula when the wind allows, so book a day ahead and keep a spare day. Our paragliding guide explains how it works.
• Tip: the monkeys are wild. Do not feed them, keep bags and snacks out of reach, and avoid the far side of the peninsula after dark.

3. Linh Ung Pagoda and the Lady Buddha Statue

Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula, home to the 67 metre Lady Buddha statue, the tallest in Vietnam, looking out over Da Nang Bay.

The towering white Lady Buddha, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, faces the sea from Linh Ung Pagoda on the slopes of Son Tra. You can see her from much of My Khe Beach, and the terrace below the statue has one of the best views back across the bay to the city.

• Best time: early morning, before tour groups arrive.

4. Nam O Reef and Fish Sauce Village

Nam O fishing village in northern Da Nang, known for its rocky reef, colourful basket boats, and a fish sauce making tradition that goes back generations.

At the northern edge of Da Nang, where the coast curves towards the Hai Van Pass, Nam O feels a world away from the hotel strip. In spring, the flat rocks of the reef are often covered in green moss at low tide, and the village behind the beach is known for its traditional fish sauce.

Things to Do in Da Nang at Night

Da Nang comes alive at night along the Han River, where the bridges light up and the busiest evenings fall on Friday to Sunday.

5. Dragon Bridge Fire Show – Time, Days and Best Viewing Spots

The Dragon Bridge in Da Nang breathes fire and water every Saturday and Sunday night at 9pm, drawing crowds along both banks of the Han River.

• Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF): every summer, international teams compete in fireworks displays over the Han River. In 2026 the festival ran over six nights from 30 May to 11 July, so check the official dates before planning a 2027 trip. Our DIFF guide covers tickets and the best viewing spots.

6. Han River Night Cruise, Love Lock Bridge and Son Tra Night Market

A Han River night cruise in Da Nang, passing under the city’s illuminated bridges as the skyline lights up both banks.

On the east bank, the Love Lock Bridge and the Carp-Dragon statue sit a few minutes’ walk from the Dragon Bridge’s head. A night cruise is a relaxed way to see the skyline, and on show nights it gives you a crowd-free view of the fire show.

A seafood dinner in Da Nang, where the day’s catch of crab, prawns, and shellfish is grilled at the table or cooked to order.

Da Nang Travel Tips for First-Time Visitors

Getting Around Da Nang

• Grab and taxis: Grab cars and motorbikes are the easiest way to get around, and the app shows the price before you ride.
• Motorbikes: rentals are everywhere, but you need a valid licence for the bike and travel insurance that covers riding.
• To Hoi An: allow 40 to 50 minutes by car, and book a return pickup if you stay late for the lanterns.

Money and Bargaining

• Cash: carry small notes for markets, street food and parking; hotels and larger restaurants take cards.
• Bargaining: expected at markets and with street vendors, not in shops with marked prices.
• Seafood: check the price per kilo and the weight before anything is cooked (see no. 7).

Etiquette and Safety

• Pagodas: cover shoulders and knees, take off your shoes and hat before entering shrine rooms, and speak quietly.
• Monkeys on Son Tra: do not feed them or carry food in the open.
• At the beach: swim only between the flags, as currents can be strong.
• Storm season: from September to December, follow the weather forecast and local announcements; cable cars, boats and the Dragon Bridge show may stop in bad weather.

Visiting Da Nang from a Cruise Ship

Cruise ships dock at Tien Sa Port on the Son Tra Peninsula, about 10 km from the city centre, or at Chan May Port, closer to Hue. With one day in port, choose either Da Nang’s sights or Hoi An, as fitting in both feels rushed.
