List of 7 Son Tra Peninsula Beaches – Hidden Pristine Beauty

Located at the northern foot of Son Tra Peninsula, near Tien Sa Port (Tho Quang Ward, Da Nang City), Tien Sa Beach boasts a long sandy shore, clear turquoise waters, and a space surrounded by primeval forests. Thanks to its secluded location away from the city center, it still preserves its pristine, peaceful, and fresh beauty. According to local legend, the name Tien Sa is associated with the story of fairies descending to Earth to help fishermen achieve bountiful catches. To remember and express gratitude, the locals named this sea area Tien Sa.

With its serene and uncrowded scenery, Tien Sa Beach is an ideal destination for activities such as swimming, watching the sunrise, camping, picnicking, or organizing team building. From Da Nang city center, it only takes visitors about 20–30 minutes (around 10–12 km) to reach the beach by motorbike or car.

How to get there: From Da Nang center, take Yet Kieu Street across Thuan Phuoc Bridge, then turn right onto the coastal road (about 20-30 minutes by motorbike). Entrance is free, but accommodation at the resort starts from 500,000 VND/night.

Located on the northern side of Son Tra Peninsula, near the Bai Cat Vang area, Bai Da Den (Black Rock Beach) is one of the most beautiful and wild rocky beaches in Da Nang. The highlight of this place is hundreds of black basalt rocks in unique shapes stretching along the coastline, standing out against the clear blue water and lush natural vegetation. The quiet space, minimally affected by mass tourism, helps Bai Da Den maintain its original rustic charm. This is an ideal spot for sightseeing, taking photos, relaxing, swimming, or snorkeling near the shore, providing a close-to-nature experience for those who love exploring and seeking a peaceful corner on Son Tra Peninsula.

How to get there: From Hoang Sa Street, turn right at the Son Tra Resort intersection and follow the guide signs (scooters are easy to ride, about 30 minutes). No entrance fee.

Located on Hoang Sa Street, Tho Quang Ward, Bai Rang is about 10–12 km (20–25 minutes drive) from Da Nang city center and only about 3 km from Linh Ung Pagoda. This is one of the beautiful beaches on Son Tra Peninsula, possessing a peaceful atmosphere along with a relatively pristine marine ecosystem. Bai Rang offers basic services such as beach huts, tents, speedboats, and dining facilities, yet still maintains a relaxing vibe that is far less crowded than downtown beaches. During the dry season, the seawater is crystal clear with great visibility; notably, the nearshore area features natural coral reefs, perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, or exploring coastal marine life during low tide. With a harmonious landscape of ocean, rocks, and forest, Bai Rang is a popular choice for tourists seeking relaxation and memorable photo opportunities.

How to get there: From the city center, take Vo Nguyen Giap – Hoang Sa Street, then turn into Suoi Rang Tourist Area (16 km, 25 minutes). Entrance fee is 50,000 VND/person.

Located right at the foot of Linh Ung Pagoda, Bai But Beach is known as the "most beautiful beach in Son Tra" featuring white sand, golden sunshine, a curving bay, and lush green mountains behind. Bai But is one of the most gorgeous and serene beaches in the area. Featuring fine white sand, crystal-clear water, and a backdrop surrounded by primeval forests, this place feels like a natural "oasis". Rated by many visitors as one of the cleanest and prettiest beaches in Son Tra, Bai But is an ideal spot for swimming, shore snorkeling, camping (according to regulations), or combining with a visit to Linh Ung Pagoda. The area also offers services such as hut rentals, seafood dining, and water sport activities to meet the needs of vacationers and explorers alike.

How to get there: From Hoang Sa Street, head straight to Linh Ung Pagoda (18 km from center, 30 minutes). Free admission, though donations at the pagoda are voluntary.

Located on the southern side of Son Tra Peninsula, along Hoang Sa Street and near Bai Rang and Bai Da, Bai Nam (also known as Bai Nom) is one of the beaches that still retains its untouched natural beauty. It stands out with turquoise waters, clean sandy shores, nearshore coral reefs, and a quiet ambiance separated from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Although surrounded by some luxury resorts like Son Tra Resort, Bai Nam still offers a serene feeling close to nature. It is an ideal destination for those wishing to swim, relax, sightsee, or enjoy a private vacation, especially suitable for families and travelers seeking tranquility.

How to get there: Drive straight on Hoang Sa Street for 3–4 km from My Khe (15 km from center). Free access, though resorts may charge parking fees.

Located near the thousand-year-old banyan tree, Bai Da (or Obama Beach) is a pristine rocky shore with massive boulders connecting the mainland to the sea, creating a magnificent yet serene landscape. The name "Obama Beach" originated from local naming to create a unique mark and attract tourists, rather than from a visit by former President Barack Obama. Meanwhile, the name Bai Da is believed to stem from its location near the famous ancient banyan tree on Son Tra Peninsula.

The highlight of Bai Da is the large rock formations stretching along the coast, clear blue waters, and a harmonious landscape of sea, mountains, and forest. It is an ideal spot for sightseeing, taking photos, relaxing, or combining with nearby attractions like Linh Ung Pagoda and the ancient banyan tree. Some records also group Bai Da within the Bai Da Den area; however, it remains widely known among visitors as a distinct check-in spot featuring unique camera angles and impressive views.

How to get there: From Linh Ung Pagoda, drive 1 km on Hoang Sa Street and turn left following the signboards (scooters are fine, 20 minutes from center). Free.

Located between Bai But and Bai Che, Ghenh Bang is the most untouched beach on Son Tra Peninsula, featuring fascinating stacked rock formations, fine white sand, and emerald-green waters. It stands out with natural rocky cliffs, clear waters, and a quiet atmosphere, offering an intimate experience with nature.

Unlike beaches with developed tourism services, Ghenh Bang has almost no amenities, making it suitable for adventurous travelers who love soft trekking, sightseeing, snorkeling, or seeking a quiet spot away from the crowds. Due to the rocky terrain and steep descent, visitors should wear appropriate footwear, travel in groups or with someone familiar with the area, and follow conservation rules on Son Tra Peninsula to ensure safety and help preserve the natural ecosystem.

How to get there: From Hoang Sa Street, turn onto the Ghenh Bang trail (motorbike, 35 minutes; requires light trekking).
