This beach has a serene nearly-600-meters-long stretch of sand, and no crowds during the best season.

The view from Bai Nam (South Beach) is excellent. In the front, there is blue and calm water dotted with fishing boats and Cham islands, a group of 7 islands with diverse marine life. In sunny months, the wave will be small. To the left, it’s possible to see high-rise hotel buildings along the beachfront of Da Nang city (My Khe Beach), and nearer, the massive statue of Lady Buddha (Goddess of Mercy) standing on the hilltop. She was constructed from 2004 to 2010, with a height of 67 meters. She overlooks the city and the sea to protect local residents from natural disasters, especially storms. No surprise, this is one of the tallest Buddha statues in Southeast Asia. Next to here, that’s a tall multi-storied tower (the Buddha Relic tower of Linh Ung Son Tra Pagoda). To the right, there is a cape jutting out into the sea (known as ‘Gun Cape’ because it looks like a gun).
Going swimming in Bai Nam (South Beach) is safe in the dry season (February to September). The water here is warm, clear, and unpolluted because it’s far from the city and has no constructions. The sand here is white, soft and also clean. Because of no shops, visitors must bring swimsuit/swimwear before visiting this place. Fresh water to take a shower is available in a nearby building.
Water sports and activities rarely happen in Bai Nam (South Beach). We recommend going to My Khe Beach or My An Beach instead.
In the end of the day, Bai Nam (South Beach) is one of the best spots to watch sunset in Da Nang. About the sunrise, you should go to the east coast of the peninsula (this beach lies on the south coast).
Commonly, there is no restaurant, bar or any other F&B services in Bai Nam (South Beach) because it’s not a popular swimming beach. After visiting, people often go to nearby Bai Rang Beach or return to the city. The nearest restaurants from this beach line the beachfront of Man Thai or Tho Quang.
