Top 'Hot' Water Sports at My Khe – Experience the Energy of the Waves

Surfing is the "king" of beach sports at My Khe, especially suitable for beginners. Waves here are usually small to medium (0.5-1.5 m), not as intense as Bali or Hawaii, but enough to give you an adrenaline rush when riding the waves. The ideal season is from September to March (high wave season), while April to August has calmer waves, making it very safe for newbies.

You can rent beginner-friendly softboards right at the beach or sign up for a 1-2 hour lesson with an instructor (usually local Vietnamese or foreign). Reputable rental spots are concentrated along Vo Nguyen Giap Street (near the 51 Vo Nguyen Giap area). After surfing, you can also enjoy free freshwater showers at select locations.

Pro tip: Choose early morning hours (6:00 - 9:00 AM) to avoid harsh sunlight and get stable waves. Always wear a life jacket and listen to safety instructions.

Currently, centers such as Da Nang Surf School (near Furama Resort) or Vietnam Surfing offer high-quality board rentals, leashes, and anti-slip wax, along with dedicated instructor guidance.

If you love peace and quiet and want a gentle experience in the open sea, Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is an ideal choice among the water sports at My Khe. Standing on a large board, you will use a paddle to glide smoothly across the water, taking in the tranquil beauty of sunrise or sunset reflected on calm waves. 

• Health benefits: SUP helps strengthen core muscles, improve posture, reduce back pain, and relieve muscle tension – especially suitable for office workers or anyone looking to combine exercise with relaxation.
• Ideal time: Early morning (5:30 AM – 7:00 AM) or late afternoon (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM), when the sea surface is flat and wind speeds are under 10 km/h, perfect for paddling and sightseeing.
• Cost: Board and paddle rental is around 300,000 VND for 2 hours, or 400,000 VND/person for guided group lessons.

Suggested spots: You can rent equipment at My Khe Beach Club or beachfront spots like The Surf Bar, which provide full gear and safety instruction services. If you want to try something fresh, sign up for SUP Yoga – a unique combination of meditation and movement amid the blue sea, helping you start your day with positive energy and a refreshed mind.

Kitesurfing is fast becoming one of the most popular water sports at My Khe Beach, especially during the Northeast monsoon season (from November to April each year). This sport is a perfect blend of surfing, paragliding, and sailing, offering an exhilarating feeling of "flying" across the water. Riders control a kite using lines and wind power to glide across the waves, creating a uniquely powerful and freeing experience.

• Benefits: Kitesurfing builds full-body strength, particularly in the arms, shoulders, and core. Additionally, it improves reflexes, confidence, and motor coordination. 
• Requirements: This is a moderate to high-difficulty sport, so beginners should take a 3–5 day basic training course, costing around 5–10 million VND per course.
• Safety: Always wear a protective helmet, life jacket, and safety release leash, while avoiding crowded areas or riding too close to shore to ensure safe practice.

If you want to get started, Da Nang Kite School is a reputable center chosen by many international visitors, featuring instructors certified by the IFCA (International Federation of Kiteboarding Association). Equipment rental (kite + board) is around 500,000 VND/hour.

Without requiring fancy equipment or complex skills, beach volleyball is one of the most accessible and popular beach sports at My Khe. This game offers not only active fun but also a great opportunity to interact and connect with both locals and fellow travelers. Every weekend, the beach comes alive with energetic amateur matches, creating a youthful and lively atmosphere along the white sand.

• Benefits: This sport improves reflexes, builds leg, shoulder, and abdominal strength, and fosters teamwork and group coordination. In just one hour of play, you can burn between 250 and 350 calories.
• Difficulty level: Suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are a group of young friends, a family, or foreign travelers, anyone can easily join in.
• Pro tip: Remember to apply sunscreen, wear beach socks/shoes or go barefoot for better traction on the sand, preventing slips when jumping to set or block the ball.

The area near the Champa Monument hosts the most public volleyball courts on My Khe Beach. If visiting during summer, you can enter or cheer at the Da Nang Beach Volleyball Open, held annually in June – an event attracting numerous domestic and international athletes. You can also rent a volleyball and net for around 50,000 VND/hour at beachfront cafes or service kiosks.

If you love speed and excitement, jet skiing is the #1 choice at My Khe. Sitting on a water craft "flying" across the sea surface at speeds up to 50-60 km/h, you'll feel the ocean breeze rushing through your hair and hear the roar of the waves. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes, suitable for both solo riders and couples. The activity area is located about 200-300 m offshore, ensuring safety with mandatory life jackets and instructors accompanying on motorboats.

Highlights:

• Suitable for all ages 16 and up (under 18 must be accompanied by an adult).
• Many tourists review this as the fastest way to "reset" their energy after a long day of sightseeing in Da Nang.

Safety note: Do not consume alcohol before riding, strictly follow speed regulations, and stay within designated zones.
