It is known as a popular tourist destination visited by many travelers from both within and outside the country. Many people probably imagine beautiful beaches and historical sites when they think of this city. However, in this issue, we will introduce a special spot that deviates from the usual route and is yet to attract much attention from tourists.
To a hidden beach that isn't crowded with people
There are still untouched natural areas left in the city, and quietly tucked away are some unique beaches. Let’s head to another of Danang’s beaches that stands apart from the glitz of tourist destinations.
Bai Da

(Son Tra) This beach in the northern part of the peninsula is characterized by the natural black rocks stacked along the shoreline, creating a breathtaking sight that exudes a sense of wildness. It is also known locally as Bai Da Den. Here, you can enjoy snorkeling and camping, and during low tide, the beautiful scenery of crystal-clear sea and black rocks creates a breathtaking sight. Access is by motorcycle or car, passing through Hoang Sa Street, and from there, it is common to walk.
Nam O
Namou Beach
It is a quiet beach located about 15 km north from the city center along Nguyen Tat Thanh Street. Although it is relatively easy to access from the city, it has not yet become a tourist destination, so it maintains a rustic atmosphere. The scenery woven by the white sand beach, the clear sea, and the distinctive rock formations resemble a painting. You can see local people picking clams and throwing nets on the rocky shore. From February to March, beautiful green moss spreads on the rocks, and the vivid green scenery that appears with the rising sun is also popular with photography enthusiasts.
