Things to Do in My Khe Beach

Sunrise swim at the northern end

Where sand meets Son Tra peninsula, the sea stays waist-deep for 100 metres and sunrise paints everything sherbet-orange. Silence except your breath and shells clicking in backwash. Fishermen in conical hats wade past, silhouettes against the climbing sun.

Evening seafood grill on Vo Nguyen Giap strip

Plastic tables sprawl on the sand. Vendors fan coals until they glow crimson. Pick a still-twitching cuttlefish, brush it with chili-lemon salt, hear the hiss as it meets the rack. Smoke drifts sweet and briny, clinging to your hair long after the last bite.

Parasail launch from the central lifeguard tower

From 100 metres up, My Khe's coconut spine looks like green stitching between turquoise water and tile roofs. The winch engine thrums through your harness; below, kids wave so hard you can almost hear their voices riding the salt wind.

Hidden tide-pool walk toward Pham Van Dong bridge

Low spring tides bare lava shelves crowded with urchins and bead-like crabs. Iodine and fresh seaweed bake in the sun. Every third step a shrimp rockets away, leaving a comma of disturbed sand.

Beachfront yoga class at Tower 9

Instructors unroll mats at 06:30 sharp. Soundtrack: waves and the occasional paddleboard drone. Feel cool grains under your palms in downward dog while sunrise warms your neck. Salt air sweetens every inhale.

Vo Nguyen Giap seafront: high-rise resorts, rooftop infinity pools, midnight karaoke echo.

Nguyen Van Thoai inland pocket: budget mini-hotels, street-food alleys, rooster wake-up calls.

Mân Thái fishing village: homestays on stilts, smell of fish sauce mornings, shared meals with hosts.
