An Bang and My Khe beaches are among Asia’s most beautiful beaches
Boasting golden beaches, lush islands, and crystal clear waters environed by majestic mountains, Vietnam is home to plenty of natural attractions. Whether you’re a swimmer, surfer, or just a sunbather, Vietnam lacks no scenic seafront spots for exhilarating weekend vacations and adventurous water sports.
In the annual Traveller’s Choice Awards list for Asia’s top 25 beaches put out by TripAdvisor, a global travel site, Vietnam’s famous An Bang Beach and My Khe Beach clinched the 24th and 25th positions respectively.

The beautiful 900M stretch of sand is lined with resorts, beach bars, restaurants, and bungalows just steps away from the waves where visitors can enjoy the sunsets over seafood and drinks. Compared to An Bang Beach, My Khe Beach is more crowded and thus has a more lively vibe.
