Cua Dai Beach, Hoi An

Unfortunately the Typhoon has damaged the beach and maintenance works are being done to restore the beach. Its very messy as a result, full of large sandbars and blue plastic sheets. An Bang beach is probably better for swimming.

Clean nice beach near Hoi An, only 5km away from the city. Good for visiting, but a bit dangerous for swimming.

Lovely beach and a very nice swim. Be kind to the sellers they are only trying to make some money. Parking 10k

It was warmer than Mike, so it was good to swim. There is clean sand, but there are many merchants.

Cua Dai is one of just five Vietnamese UNESCO World Heritage Sites offering an unrivalled seaside escape from the ancient streets of Hoi An. This 3km stretch of fine white powdery sands positioned just north-east of Hoi An make Cua Dai Beach the perfect place to easily find your own patch of paradise. The water is very clear with tropically blue waves that are gentle enough for swimming and floating around. There are even changing huts on the beach along with a few bungalows here and there. There are also plenty of great seafood restaurants located around the coast so its worth staying for dinner and enjoying fresh dishes served up from the vendors lining the beachfront. Cua Dai is another great reason to visit Hoi An where you can soak up all the celebrated cultural and historical sites then head up to the beach and experience what is often claimed to be Vietnam's most stunning coastal shore. Crystal blue seas and deserted white sands like this are hard to find anywhere else in Vietnam.
