Vietnam's coast runs for over 3,000 kilometres, so the country quietly hides some of South East Asia's most underrated beaches.
An Bang (Hoi An)
Just outside the ancient town, An Bang is the perfect city-plus-beach combo — a long stretch of sand lined with laid-back restaurants and loungers. It's our go-to for couples who want culture and coast in one stop, and it's on the doorstep of our Hanoi to Hoi An package.
Da Nang
The big resort city between Hoi An and Hue, with a sweeping beach, international-brand hotels and the famous Dragon Bridge. Best for families who want resort infrastructure and a proper airport nearby.
Phu Quoc
Vietnam's island escape, off the southern coast near Cambodia. White sand, clear water and serious resort development — including some honeymoon-grade five-stars. Best December to April.
Nha Trang
A lively beach city on the south-central coast, popular for diving and boat trips. It's busier and more built-up than the others, but the water is warm and the seafood is excellent.
Which beach for you?
- Culture + beach — An Bang, Hoi An.
- Resorts & family ease — Da Nang.
- Island escape — Phu Quoc.
- Diving & nightlife — Nha Trang.
Quick questions, answered
When is beach weather best?
The centre (An Bang, Da Nang) is best February to August; Phu Quoc December to April. Check our best time to visit guide before you commit.
Can I combine beach and culture?
Yes — Hoi An and An Bang are minutes apart, so you get lantern-lined streets and a beach in the same stay. It's exactly how our packages pair them.
Which beach is best for families?
Da Nang, for the calm water and resort amenities — or An Bang for something quieter. Call 020 7946 0958 and we'll pair the right beach with your route.
