Vietnam’s administrative restructuring has merged Quang Nam Province into Da Nang City, expanding its footprint to include areas like Hoi An Town. The district level has been eliminated, making Da Nang the nation’s largest city by landmass. Enhanced by sustainable infrastructure—cycling paths, electric buses, and a VND600 billion flood mitigation project (2024)—the city ensures seamless access to Non Nuoc Beach and other attractions.
Located 764 km south of Hanoi and 964 km north of Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang City is bordered by Thua Thien Hue, Quang Ngai, Kon Tum, Laos, and the South China Sea. Covering 1,283.42 km² (241.51 km² urban, 1,041.91 km² rural), it features a tropical monsoon climate with a dry season (February–August, 24–35°C or 75.2–95°F) and a rainy season (September–January, 18–30°C or 64.4–86°F), with peak rainfall in October–November (150–500 mm).
The city’s terrain, from the Truong Son Mountains to its coastline, creates a stunning backdrop for Non Nuoc Beach. The Han River fuels its tourism hub status, while over 50% of the area is forested, enhancing the beach’s natural allure.
Non Nuoc Beach, in Hoa Hai Ward, lies at the foot of the Marble Mountains, 8 km southeast of Da Nang city center and 15 km from Hoi An Town. Stretching 5 km, its fine white sand, clear blue waters, and gentle slope make it ideal for swimming and relaxation. The beach’s calm waves, minimal wind, and lush greenery create a serene, less commercialized atmosphere compared to My Khe Beach, perfect for eco-conscious travelers. Its proximity to Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village and Marble Mountains adds cultural depth, making it a hub for nature and heritage exploration.
Non Nuoc Beach has retained its wild beauty despite tourism development, thanks to sustainable practices enforced by local authorities. Historically, it was a retreat for Vietnamese royalty and later a leisure spot during the French colonial era. The nearby Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village, a 300-year-old craft hub, complements the beach’s appeal, offering marble sculptures rooted in Cham and Vietnamese traditions. The beach’s name, meaning “water and stone,” reflects its harmonious blend with the Marble Mountains.
Non Nuoc Beach offers a tranquil setting for sunbathing, swimming, and eco-friendly activities. Enjoy water sports like jet-skiing and paddleboarding, or explore nearby cultural sites.
