How to Access Tan Thanh Beach?
Because the beachfront of Tan Thanh Beach is almost fully lined by tourist venues, therefore many visitors are confused about how to access it when do not use the service at those places.
We recommend going to Khuc Thua Du Street and then walking to its east end. Furthermore, visitors can walk along Nguyen Phan Vinh Street and then find free access roads to the beach (usually small and narrow). The other way is walking from An Bang Beach, a public beach in the north.
Best Time to Visit Tan Thanh Beach in Hoi An
The best time to visit Tan Thanh Beach in the year is the dry season, from February to the end of August. In this period, the weather is beautiful, with lots of sun and no rain. For that reason, it’s a perfect time to sightsee, sunbathe, go swimming, take pictures, and play water sports.
The worst time of the year to visit Tan Thanh Beach is the rainy season, from September to January. The weather in these months is mostly rainy and cloudy, so it’s not really great to head over to the beach. Between October and December/January, typhoons may hit the area, causing very strong winds and waves as well as heavy rains and floods.
In December and January, generally it often rains. The heaviest rain will be in late December and early January (around Christmas, New year holidays). In late January, visitors can expect dry or sunny days to visit Tan Thanh Beach. Check the weather forecast to choose the best days or hours!
Things to Do in Tan Thanh Beach Hoi An Vietnam
Sightseeing & Swimming in Tan Thanh Beach
Between An Bang Beach (north) and Hoi An Hidden Beach (south), Tan Thanh Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. It has a non-stop and clean stretch of fine white sand, with blue and clear water in the front and undeveloped areas in the back, with lots of pine trees and coconut trees. From there, on the left hand side, there is a portion of Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain), high-rise buildings along My Khe Beach and rocky hills of the Marble Mountains. On the right hand side, there are islands of Cham Islands, a national marine park and Unesco world biosphere reserve. No surprise, Tan Thanh Beach is a good place for those who love seeing beautiful natural landscapes and taking pictures. Compared to nearby beaches, the atmosphere is more peaceful here.
Along Nguyen Phan Vinh Street (from Khuc Thua Du Street to Lac Long Quan Street), visitors can find cafés with a view. Besides pretty scenery and cool breeze, they serve coffee, soft drinks, fresh coconut and local beers.
During the dry season, going swimming at Tan Thanh Beach is safe for both adults and kids. In the early morning or late afternoon, visitors will see many local people who come here to cool down, do exercise, play sports and of course, go swimming. The water is not deep and the waves are gentle. Because it is less crowded, parents can take their children to Tan Thanh Beach and then give them time to run on the beach, play in the water and build sand castles. Please do not forget swimsuits/swimwear!
If looking for a sun bed to lie down and chill with a cold beer, let’s go to café and restaurants along Nguyen Phan Vinh Street (between Khuc Thua Du Street and Lac Long Quan Street). Those who take something from the food/drink menu, may not need to pay a fee to use the lounge.
Water Sports in Tan Thanh Beach
Throughout the dry season, visitors will see these water sports to participate in or equipment for rent: jet skiing, stand up paddle boarding, parachuting, kite surfing, surfing, banana boat, snorkeling,… Most options may be seen in the club near the crossroad of Chu Cam Phong Street and Nguyen Phan Vinh Street. In the rainy season, due to stronger waves and winds, many surfers go to this beach.
If not available on your day of travel, we suggest going to An Bang Beach (can go by foot from Tan Thanh Beach) to check the availablity of water sports.
Tan Thanh Flea Market
Tan Thanh Flea Market is a Saturday market on a 200-meters-long stretch of Nguyen Phan Vinh Street, from the crossroad of Trieu Quang Phuc Street to the crossroad of Chu Cam Phong Street. It opens from morning to evening. Here, visitors will see nearly 100 stalls selling local specialty food souvenirs, handmade items (pottery from Thanh Ha village, marble statues from Non Nuoc village, wood works from Kim Bong village, etc), recycled items, seasonal agricultural products, local street food, etc. In busy hours, outdoor performances will take place.
Because the market is pedestrian only, so those who ride the motorbike will need to park near its entrances and then walk to visit. Tan Thanh Flea Market was first opened on 26th September 2020.
Watch Sunrise in Tan Thanh Beach
Tan Thanh Beach is a good spot to watch and photograph sunrise or sunset in Hoi An. The sunrise is better somehow because the beach looks to the East. If possible, visitors should book an accommodation in the village close to this beach. From the city centre of Hoi An, the distance won’t be too long, so just need to wake up earlier a little bit (can cycle, ride motorbike or take a taxi to get there).
