Paddleboard (SUP) at Sunrise on My Khe Beach

Start a perfect morning in Da Nang with a sunrise SUP session on My Khe Beach — an experience that is both relaxing and breathtaking. As the first rays of sunlight reflect off the crystal-clear water, gentle waves lap the shore, creating a tranquil, dreamlike scene.

My Khe Beach, famous for its soft white sand and clear blue water, is also an ideal spot to capture stunning sunrise photos that preserve the peaceful beauty before the city awakens. This is a perfect experience for nature lovers seeking to immerse themselves in the seaside rhythm and enjoy a serene yet deeply emotional start to the day.
