Da Nang to An Bang Beach Hoi An: Pristine Beach from Just 220K

Between the bustling Da Nang and the glowing lanterns of Hoi An lies a pristine stretch of coastline that most tourists don’t know about — An Bang Beach.

No 5-star resorts, no packed parking lots, no crowds queuing for selfies. Just a long stretch of white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water of Da Nang Bay, and fresh seafood restaurants with genuinely affordable local prices. This is why An Bang is becoming the favorite choice for visitors returning to Hoi An a second time.

From Da Nang, you only need 33km and 50 minutes — and there’s no direct bus service to get there. This is where a private Faifo Express car becomes invaluable.
