When Tourists Flood Da Nang Beaches

Post new topic

The five day holiday weekend (Saturday April 27th thru Wednesday May 1st) drew a lot of tourists to Đà Nẵng beaches.


Most of these people are Vietnamese citizens taking advantage of a chance to take a long vacation within Việt Nam:

Fortunately for foreigners who are "sun worshippers", these huge crowds are at their peak in the morning (between about 5 AM & 8 AM) and again in the late afternoon and early evening (between about 3:30 PM & 6:30 PM).


Head to the beach between 9 AM & 3 PM and you'll probably find only a few fellow foreigners braving the hot sun rays.

I was in Da Nang from 25th for 6 days, my first ever visit and i absolutely love the place and i genuinely thought all the people hitting the beach happens every night when weather good. Obviously got it wrong :/

Welcome to the forum!


You're correct in that early mornings and late afternoons bring increased traffic to the beaches here.


It's just that the crowds over the 5 day holiday weekend were especially large.


Đà Nẵng will hopefully be a great fit for you, especially if you don't consider monsoon season to be a deterrent. 


Cheers!
