Cui Dai Beach, Hoi An

Another beach for those who aren’t fans of crowds, Cui Dai Beach is your typical palm-fringed curve of white-sand-meets-turquoise-sea, complete with views of the Cham Islands. Since it’s somewhat off the tourist trail that arguably reaches its peak at the famously beautiful and historical city of Hoi An, the tourists at this beach are limited. However, given its proximity to such a famous city in Vietnam, it means a few amenities – several hotels, rentable inflatables, and a charge to park your motorbike. A few years ago, it seemed as if this beautiful beach would disappear, as erosion that began showing itself in 2004 suddenly accelerated, forcing the beach’s custodians to use sandbags and various other methods to stop Cui Dai from slipping away. Now, after much work was done on this beach, it’s thankfully back to normal.
