Non Nuoc Beach also pertains to Da Nang Sea and has been voted as one of the most beautiful and attracting beaches of the planet, 2005, according to Forbes, the leading magazine of America. This beach has gentle slope, mild waves, and purely blue sea water during the four seasons.

The beach Non Nước is also a place that exist precious and rare seaweeds such as gracilarias "yellow thread" and glacilaria "screw" that have high value of exporting.
With green water and white sand, Non Nuoc Beach stretches five kilometers along the shore of Hoa Hai Ward at the foot of Ngu Hanh Son (The Marble Mountains). The beach is famous for its seaweed, which
reaches exportation standards. Many five-star hotels were built in Non Nuoc to
accommodate the domestic and foreign tourists in the area. Together with its
feature of wave degree, climate, weather and salinity, Non Nuoc Beach is
suitable for water sports, especially surfing. In 1993, there took place an
international champion with the participation of nearly 40 athletes from many
countries around the world.
Along the beach, on the white sand is a forest of age-old casuarinas which is shady, green and is waving in the whistling wind. This is an ideal place for resting and camping. When the darkness falls and the moon rises, you can set yourself free on smooth benches along the beach to listen to melodious sounds of the waves and enjoy the occult space.
The beach is managed by the Non Nuoc Tourism Company that has three hotels with more than 100 rooms on the beach. They provide entertainment services including photographs for souvenir, handicraft shops, massage, restaurant, tennis and some gymnastics. A chain of tourism resorts is planned to cater for international tourists including seaside hotels and restaurants, especially an international standard golf court.
Besides convalescence and bathing, tourists to Non Nuoc Beach can also combine their journeys with traveling the relic Marble Mountains, which boast some ancient pagodas and sacred monumental caves, go around fine art stone handicraft villages right at the foot of the Mountains or go boating on Co Co River (Stork Neck River) to enjoy peacefulness of the Marble Mountains.

3. Thanh Binh BeachThanh Binh Beach is at the end of Ong Ich Khiem street of Thanh Binh Ward, Hai Chau District.
The beach is calm and there is rarely whirling water.
Situated in Danang Bay along Nguyen Tat Thanh street, Thanh Binh is one of the city's beautiful and convenient beaches. Such sea services as water-skiing, traveling by boat, canoeing etc. have been strongly developed. This is also a rather ideal place for the construction of seaside hotels and small-scale tourist wharves
4. Nam O Beach
Developed in the early 1960s, Nam O Beach was originally frequented by local people alone. The stilt houses of today were built for tourist purposes and much of its historical charm has been lost. The small community used to support itself by producing firecrackers but since the government imposed a ban on these in 1995, the inventive locals have gone into preparing nuoc nam, a dipping fish sauce, instead.
A highlight of a trip to Nam O Beach is taking a boat westwards on the Cu De river. This ecological tour takes tourists to Hoa Bac in Hoa Vang district, a ward inhabited by roughly 9,000 minority people and dominated by the cultivation of tea and coffee.
Nam O Beach is on its way to become an increasingly touristy spot since a large new hotel complex, the Red Beach Resort has been built. The beach is furthermore incorporated in a project to embellish landscapes and solve the problem of pollution. The construction of an 800-meter road that will connect the Nam O Bridge with the bathing resorts is also part of this concept.
5. Xuan Thieu Beach
The Xuan Thieu beach is 3km south of Nam O beach - a place-name linked with a historical event happening in March 1965 when the brigade No.9 of the US marine forces entered the city to start the strategy of "local war" in Vietnam.
Since 1975, the beach is only used for the US soldiers because this was the US military zone with an airport for field combat and storage of military supplies and defence system of Danang city from the North. The US troops called Xuan Thieu 'Red Beachâ€. This may be owing to visual feeling when they saw at dawn and sunset and the red was reflected from the sea.
Xuan Thieu beach is clean, beautiful and unchanged with white and silky sand and green water.
Since 1992, Xuan Thieu tourism resort has been built with a rather streamlined and sufficient system of services, including hotels, restaurants and some kinds of entertainment for bathing, meeting all tourists' demand.
At present, a 15-km long tourist road route from Thuan Phuoc to the foot of Hai Van Pass through Xuan Thieu beach has been building and will be completed in late 2003. This will be the chance for exploiting all potentials of the beach.
