reader Posted August 14 Posted August 14 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. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/best-beaches-in-the-world/ tm_nyc, bkkmfj2648 and vinapu 1 2 Quote

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. VancBCMan, reader and 10tazione 2 1 Quote

Tomtravel Posted August 14 Posted August 14 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. omega 1 Quote
Moses Posted August 14 Posted August 14 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. Quote

I'm very sure both Jomtien and Pattaya Beach must be on that list of 50 as they tick off all those criteria mentioned aussie_, reader and bkkmfj2648 3 Quote
