When we booked our holiday to Hoi An we knew there was a beach just outside the town but what we didnt expect was how nice it would be. We had read that during the monsoon months the beach is not great and unsafe for swimming but while we were there we were blessed with wonderful endless sunshine - I met a family in Brunei who were there the week before us and they had 5 days of rain! - so the beach was the place to go. It was deserted apart from a scatter of tourists and local hawkers. The sand was lovely and soft and the waves though a bit rough at times was great fun especially as it was Iman, Jack and Ayden's first experience of waves. And the water temperature was refreshing cold, not as cold as Ballybunion but way better than the warm bath water we get here.
This beach leads to China Beach in Danang and it is 30km of beach all the way.
On our first day we rented beach chairs, bought drinks and lunch (?!) from this beach cafe. There were several along this stretch and very cheap. All our drinks and food for the day was no more than B$20 or 20 Euro but very basic. It was only the following day that we discovered a hut run by a French-American couple complete with shower/toilet and lovely home cooked food - La Plage - sort of place you want to spend all day and all night.
The faces on these satisfied customers tell us we need to be back!
