If you're seeking a peaceful and refreshing escape where turquoise seas blend seamlessly with sky and clouds, and simple fishing villages dot the coastline Dai Lanh Beach is a must-visit on your journey through Nha Trang. Free from the hustle and bustle, Dai Lanh remains an untouched gem, preserving the raw, pristine beauty of Vietnam’s coastline.

Where is Dai Lanh Beach?

Located in Dai Lanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa province, Dai Lanh Beach lies about 80km north of Nha Trang city centre. Stretching over 10km in length, this beach boasts soft white sand and crystal-clear water making it one of the most beautiful beaches in Central Vietnam.

Nestled between two major mountain passes, Ca Pass and Co Ma Pass, Dai Lanh is shielded by lush green hills, creating calm waters ideal for swimming especially safe for children and families.

A Glimpse into Coastal Life

Aside from its natural beauty, Dai Lanh also offers the chance to immerse yourself in the daily rhythm of traditional fishing villages, where you can appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of Central Vietnam's coastal culture.
