Surf spot guide · Da Nang, Vietnam
My Khe Beach is an exposed, east-facing sandbar beach break in Da Nang with multiple shifting peaks that range from beginner-friendly surf in low energy to fast, heavy closeouts when swell energy increases.
My Khe Beach is a long (approximately 10 km) stretch of coastline in Da Nang, Vietnam, running from the base of Son Tra Peninsula toward the Marble Mountains. It is an exposed, open beach break with shifting sandbars that create multiple peaks and changing takeoff zones. Wave shape and quality are highly dependent on sandbar setup and wave energy, producing softer, slower waves in lower-energy conditions and becoming faster, punchier, and more closeout-prone as energy increases. The spot is exposed to the South China Sea and has a wide swell window (approximately 30° to 100°), with best swell direction commonly described as East-Northeast (ENE). Offshore winds from the west to southwest provide the cleanest conditions. The beach can work across tide stages, with mid-to-high tide commonly producing better shape. Access is via multiple public entry points along the coastal road (Vo Nguyen Giap Street) and is close to Da Nang city center (about 3 km) and Da Nang International Airport (about 10–15 minutes). Some beach sections are resort-managed and may have restricted access for non-guests, while other areas remain publicly accessible year-round.
Ten kilometres of sandbar peaks that reshape with every swell pulse.
30-100
Moderate to heavy; busier on weekends and during peak tourist season, with central access areas generally most crowded.
Vibrant, accessible city beach with a mix of local surfers, expatriates, and traveling surfers; central areas are busier and more social, while sections toward Son Tra Peninsula and toward the Marble Mountains are generally quieter.
Use wave energy (kJ) alongside wave height when judging how heavy My Khe will feel; the sandbar setup makes energy a more predictive indicator for this beach.
Spread out along the beach to find better banks and less competition; peaks shift and there are multiple workable sections along the long shoreline.
The T20–T18 zone is described as deeper with stronger waves and currents compared with more central zones.
