Two Vietnamese beaches among world's 50 best

[reader]

From VN Express

British newspaper The Daily Telegraph has named My Khe and Non Nuoc in the central city of Da Nang in a list of 50 best beaches on the planet.

The two beaches are described "best for atmosphere", according to the newspaper.

The 900-meter-long My Khe, which runs from the base of the Son Tra Peninsula to the Marble Mountains, is famous for its smooth white sand and warm waters all year round. It also offers a variety of adventure sports activities.

Located in Ngu Hanh Son District, around eight kilometers from downtown Da Nang, Non Nuoc beach is five kilometers long and dotted with a series of luxury resorts.

From the beach, tourists can easily conquer the Marble Mountains, a complex of network of caves, tunnels, towers and pagodas.

In addition to two Vietnamese representatives, other beaches praised included Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro, Palm West Beach in Dubai and Playa de La Concha in Spain.

The list was compiled by travel experts based on criteria such as wildlife, striking panoramic views, atmospheric areas with bustling beach bars and attractions, destinations with luxurious hotels, quiet remote corners, family-friendly stretches of sand and more.

@reader - there is something about you and I, we are often very synchronized without even communicating with each other.

Today, one of my most favorite Da Nang Youtubers, Travis - (he is very sexy in my opinion) posted this today about a new beach discovery that he made on the Son Tra Peninsula - which I have ridden my motorbike on so many times, up past the giant Lady Buddha statue to the end of the road at the InterContinental resort - and I never noticed it.  So, I cannot wait to return back to Da Nang (which will be part of my 4-4-4 plan for 2025) to check out this "secret beach" as Travis calls it.

Many thanks for links.  Will definitely put that on my short list on next trip.

and if the Vietnamese government follows through on the new 36 month residence visa - then I may abandon Thailand and we could hang out together when you come to visit Da Nang again  🤩

Are there still people hanging halfnaked under the tropical sun? If your skin is white, it should remain white - everything else is a step closer to skin cancers.

The funny fact: it isn't My Khe on the photo of the beach in Da Nang. It is Bãi tắm Phạm Văn Đồng but photo is correct - this beach is better than My Khe is. Look: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qUz8vHYZDMSCyeqRA

Vietnam promotes My Khe because they made a lot of villas and golf clubs along with My Khe. My Khe lays to south from the beach on picture.

I'm very sure both Jomtien and Pattaya Beach must be on that list of 50 as they  tick off all those criteria mentioned

Do any of the beach towns in Vietnam have a good gay scene?
