Travel tips
- Swimming is permitted daily from 5 AM to 8 PM, with lifeguards on duty to ensure your safety.
- Rip currents are expected on Da Nang’s beaches, so look for their warning signs: spots in the water that are darker than their surroundings, small and still sea waves, and bubbles or floating debris that may appear on the surface of the rip currents.
- Be wary of jellyfish. Their growing season is in the summer. When jellyfish attack your hands or legs, gently wash them with seawater and cover them with sand from the beach. This is a fishing tip that has been passed down through generations.
