An Bang Beach

Getting around: About 4km northeast of Hoi An Ancient Town — a 10-15 minute bicycle ride or short taxi/Grab.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a public beach; beach clubs and loungers are generally staffed roughly 8am-6pm.

An Bang is Hoi An's main beach, a wide stretch of sand a short bike ride from the Ancient Town, lined with a strip of casual beach clubs and restaurants renting loungers and umbrellas. It's more laid-back and less developed than the big resort beaches further south in Da Nang, with a relaxed, slightly bohemian character.

Swimming conditions vary seasonally — calmer in the dry season, with a stronger and sometimes dangerous undertow appearing in the rainier months (roughly October-January), so it's worth checking conditions and any posted flags before swimming out.
