When the summer heat begins to intensify and "burn" across the Central region, many tourists, especially young people, flock to the "livable city" Da Nang - the land of sun, wind and sea. Not only famous for its vibrant entertainment areas, bringing a bustling pace of life, Da Nang also has a special attraction with "healing" destinations, where majestic nature and fresh air bring a gentle, relaxing experience to the soul, helping to dispel the sweltering heat of summer.
In the summer of 2025, Da Nang once again affirms its position as the leading "entertainment paradise", ready to welcome visitors with a harmonious combination of blue beaches, majestic mountains and a diverse and rich tourism ecosystem. Let's explore the ideal places to "escape the heat" and recharge in this beautiful coastal city.
Man Thai - Where the old rhythm of life still echoes in the new urban area
Located not far from My Khe beach or Son Tra peninsula, Man Thai fishing village is one of two ancient fishing villages remaining in the heart of modern Da Nang. Having undergone rapid urbanization, Man Thai still retains its rustic features: the market is held right on the sand, the people are honest, the shops are simple and the fresh seafood from the night sea trip - shrimp, squid, mackerel, silver pomfret...
Dawn market on Man Thai beach
Man Thai fish market opens at 4am and closes at dawn, creating a lively space with light reflecting on the fish and calls in the morning mist. This place is not only a place to buy and sell but also a unique "cultural slice" - where people make a living, attached to the sea from generation to generation. Many tourists come to Man Thai to swim or SUP, but few people explore the fish market - the place that still preserves the most traditional fishing village life. This is the ideal destination for tourists who love local experiences and seek authentic connections with the people and culture of Da Nang.
In particular, in the summer, Man Thai becomes a cool check-in spot for those who want to escape the sweltering heat but still want to explore a different Da Nang. When the sun has not yet risen high, the air here is clear, the sea breeze is cool and the bustling scene of the early morning fish market becomes the ideal backdrop for vivid photos. After walking around the market, visitors can stop by the beachside stalls to enjoy a hot bowl of seafood porridge or a portion of grilled squid that is both fresh and full of the taste of the sea - a rustic but unforgettable culinary experience in the middle of the city.
Obama Rock Beach: A "fairyland" in the heart of Son Tra
About 17km northeast of Da Nang city center, hidden on the pristine Son Tra peninsula, Obama Rock Beach appears like a watercolor painting with crystal clear sea water, blending with a strangely peaceful and quiet space. The pristine, majestic beauty of large and small rocks stacked on top of each other, along with the blue water, creates the feeling of being lost in a fairyland separate from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Obama Rock Beach is located on Son Tra Peninsula - Da Nang, near the most sacred pagoda that every tourist visiting and experiencing Da Nang must visit.
Here, visitors will have the opportunity to experience countless unique activities with their "best friends". You can freely dive to see colorful coral reefs under the clear blue water, try the exciting sport of surfing by canoe, or simply enjoy fresh seafood right on the rocky beach.
Obama Rock Beach has a beautiful beach with clear blue water, clean surrounding landscape, cool fresh air and many services opened to serve customers' needs.
In particular, Obama Rock Beach is also an ideal place to breathe the fresh air of the sea breeze, listen to the sound of waves lapping on the scattered rocks, touch the cool sea water and continuously capture beautiful "virtual life" moments, because this place possesses countless unique shooting angles, bringing impressive pictures that cannot be missed.
Ghenh Bang Son Tra: Wild beauty causes a stir in the community
Continuing the journey to explore Son Tra peninsula, from Obama Rock Beach, just go straight for about 4km more, you will reach Ghenh Bang - a place that has been "causing a fever" in the online community recently because of its picturesque beach scenery, not inferior to any famous beach in the world.
Possessing a wild and attractive natural landscape, this place becomes an ideal check-in point for the journey of discovery of travel enthusiasts.
To reach Ghenh Bang and admire its majestic beauty, visitors need to walk about 1km more on the trail, but this journey will definitely be worth it. Here, the undulating rocks, with unique orange patches, stretch along the coastline, creating an extremely impressive scene.
The perfect combination of the orange color of the rocks and the jade green color of the sea water further enhances the magical, wild and attractive beauty of Ghenh Bang beach, bringing a true sense of discovery to travel enthusiasts.
Hai Van Pass: A "fairyland" in the clouds
If you have had your fill of the sea or the crowded city, try a change of pace with an adventurous trip up Hai Van Pass. Located about 20km north of Da Nang city center, Hai Van Pass is not only a legendary mountain pass but also a masterpiece of nature. Right from the foot of the pass, just by looking far away, you can admire the "cloud waves" rolling on the top of the pass, creating a floating, magical scene like a "fairyland".
Hai Van Pass is considered one of the most beautiful mountain passes in the world. With its majestic and magnificent beauty, this place is a challenge for many adventurers.
For those who love to explore and want to "travel" with their "best friends", Hai Van Pass is the ideal choice. The journey to conquer the pass not only brings the feeling of conquering challenges but also opens up spectacular views of the ocean, mountains and layers of clouds embracing the top of the pass. This will be a memorable experience, helping you find the balance between majestic nature and escape the noise of everyday life.
Poems and melodies are probably not enough to describe the beauty of Hai Van Pass.
