An Bang Beach

An Bang Beach is Hoi An's go-to beach, located on Vietnam's eastern coastline. The beach is an expansive paradise with umbrellas, lounge chairs, and cobalt-blue waters awaiting your arrival. An Bang Beach has a bohemian feel, with casual beach bars, swaying hammocks, and more.

The best time to visit the beach is between March and September, when temperatures are warm, the sun is shining, and the waters are calm. Only surfers should frequent the beach from October to February, as the seas are rough and the waves are huge. Surfing is also popular during the warmer months, with multiple board rentals and lessons available. Paddleboarding, kitesurfing, and parasailing are offered in the waters as well. The best thing to do on An Bang Beach is to join the locals for a sunrise stroll along the shoreline or for a family barbeque during sunset.

Relax in a beachfront cabana at Soul Kitchen, where you can enjoy live music and seafood fresh off the grill. If Soul Kitchen isn't relaxed enough, be sure to check out Banyan Beach Bar, one of the most laidback beach bars in the area. Many beach bars stay open until early morning, packed with beachgoers seeking fruity cocktails, lively music, themed parties, and more. The best hotel accommodation in the area goes to Tropical Beach Hoi An Resort, with fishing, diving, volleyball, and modern, beachfront rooms. An Bang Beach is one of Vietnam's best, and may just be the perfect beach destination for you.
