Cua Dai Beach

Cua Dai Beach boasts three kilometres (2 miles) of fine white sand. At just ten minutes by road from Hoi An, it is the nearest beach to this ancient city, making it a great destination on which to relax in between sightseeing tours.

Despite its proximity to Hoi An, Cua Dai Beach comes close to being deserted during the week. At other times, the quietest section tends to be at its most northerly end. Sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented, and rudimentary changing huts are also available, alongside restaurants serving seafood fresh out of the ocean.

These waters are both clean and gentle enough for swimmers to enjoy. Shallow child-friendly pools of natural sea water have been created by giant snake like sand bags placed here to prevent beach erosion.
