When it comes to beaches in Vietnam, one could expect golden shores and a laid-back vibe, which is perfect for all types of travellers who want to enjoy some sand and sea. Here are a few islands and beaches that you cannot miss out on if you are a beach lover visiting the country.
An Bang and the Cham Islands
Just a short distance away from the famous Hoi An, this is an inviting stretch of soft sand fringed by simple beach shacks and swaying palms, perfect for dusk cocktails and sunset strolls. Cham Islands are just a boat ride away from here and are a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, well-known for its rich marine life. Isolated beaches, snorkelling spots, and traditional fishing villages are the highlights to explore.
Quy Nhon
The beaches in Quy Nhon are beautiful and unspoiled! With clean shores and crystal clear waters, snorkelling is a great activity to indulge in and while away your time. Not to mention, some of the best Vietnam beach hotels are located on the coast of this city, and Avani Quy Nhon Resort is one of them.
Mui Né
Mui Né is a charming little fishing village where the local fishermen set out in their coracles every night in search of a fresh catch. In addition to the crescent-shaped beach, Mui Né also boasts a desert landscape (The White and Red Sand Dunes), which draws in visitors for sandboarding, ATV rides, and stunning sunrise vistas.
Phu Quoc Island

Also called the Pearl Island, visitors will find some of Vietnam’s most pristine beaches right here – Long Beach, Sao Beach, and Bai Dai among the best. The waters here are excellent for diving and snorkelling. Beyond sun and surf, its lively night markets and seafood stalls add a flavorful cultural layer.
