Weekend in Danang

Trip Overview

This whirlwind Danang teaser lines up dawn laps in the silky surf at My Khe with dusk gin-and-tonics above the Han River, drags you through incense-thick caverns inside Marble Mountains, then caps the day with charcoal-grilled squid tentacles crackling over open coals. Plan on 5:30 a.m. alarms to dodge the rising mercury, slow afternoons drifting between iced-coffee cafés and salt-stiff beach loungers, and nights that melt into neon dragon fire and karaoke drifting across the black water. Every stop sits inside a 15-minute radius of downtown, so you crash in the same hotel both nights and simply spin between coast, river and jagged limestone.
