Just 3km north of Cua Dai, An Bang is fast emerging as one of Vietnam’s most happening and enjoyable beaches.
The approach track is scruffy, but after you’ve parked up and hit the shore it’s easy to see what all the fuss is about – you’re greeted with a wonderful stretch of fine sand, a huge empty ocean and an enormous horizon, with only the distant Cham Islands interrupting the seaside symmetry.
More and more cool little beachfront bar-restaurants are opening here, and the scene looks set to take off. At the time of research visitors were not being hassled by beach vendors, but as An Bang’s star rises, this situation will probably change. Luckily the coastline immediately to the north – a glorious broad beach lined with casuarina and pandan trees and dotted with the curious coracles of local fishermen – remains pristine.
