"Cua Dai" used to be one of the most beautiful beaches near Hôi An, with soft sand and blue warm waters. It is still beautiful, but has been suffering from erosion, which reduced severely the sand stretch at certain points. Anyway, after a day sightseeing around Hôi An and nearby attractions, allow yourself a quick dip and moments of relaxation on "Cua Dai Beach". Enjoy!

Last visited in April 2019 and returning this week, there’s been a huge change. Unfortunately, a typhoon in late 2022 has caused erosion and closure of many beach restaurants. There are efforts being made to help with recovery from the erosion. However, walking back towards our hotel, Boutique Hoi A Resort, the beach is in a terrible state. Loads of washed up rubbish, collapsed buildings and sadly even the remains of an animal. Very upsetting. Wouldn’t take much effort to get it cleaned up, but nobody seems to care. So sad 😢

Many year ago, this beach was very nice and perfect. last year and until now, this one is broken and eroded . It is so sad . But there are many restaurants still are working well there. Most of them have fresh seafoods everyday and good price

Beautiful beach I would say. We was introduced with a tour but found out it would be fine to chill here. Try not to bring a plastic bags and make sure you ask the price before buying anything even a coconut.

Really peaceful beach, not nearly as busy as My Khe. If you’re looking to relax the resorts here are great. Post covid and monsoons there is a lot of construction, but we didn’t find it very noisy. It’s only a 10 minute cab to Hoi An. We’ll be back.

A lot of old reviews mention the typhoon from years back that took out some of the beach. That did happen, but many of the businesses have built the beach back. If you want a lot of nice sand, go to one of those. Man’s restaurant is a nice place to rent a chair with the price of a drink or two.

After winter storms, there is little left of this once gorgeous beach. Local businesses have suffered dramatically. Lots of sea defences have been constructed, but needs a major civil engineering project to restore the beachfront. Approximately 1 mile of beach is affected. No indication when things will return to normal.

Give this beach a miss for a while. It suffered from extreme erosion some time ago. At the moment it looks like a mine site with dredges pumping sand back up. I am sure it will b beautiful once again when finished.

Sad to see such a beautiful beach eroded away, but that's nature. And looking at the powerful waves I dont think the sand bags will be of much use. I do feel sorry for the local businesses that rely on the tourists. Picture taken 28th january 2020

Help! I have a trip planned to the Cham Islands (so excited!) but I am so confused. My flight lands in Hoi An in the evening, then I plan to stay closer to the Cua Dai Harbor, where I will get a ferry to the islands in the morning.
How do I get to the Cua Dai Harbor? Is there accommodation I can crash at before catching my early ferry?
Please help! Thank you for your guidance.

You will fly into Danang not Hoi An. Hoi An is not really a big town as far as travel times go. Any hotel will be able to arrange a cheap fast transfer for you. The taxis are an option also although language could be an issue. They are extremely cheap. Be aware if the seas are rough they may not run the boat.

Hi! I intend to visit Hoi An in the midle of may. There are many negative reviews about distruction of the Cua Dai beach. On some photos only a big amount of bags with sand. But on the others photos - good sandy beach with sunbeds and ambrellas.
Can anybody call a landmark on the shore, where begins normal for rest and bathing beach?

If you can find a cheap accommodation in Hoi An then you are better off staying there. You can always hire a bike fora dollar per day and get to the beach. Its not all that far.

We stayed in Cua Dai and were happy to have the peace and quiet and the ability to pop into Hoi An when we wanted to.
There a lots of bars/restaurants and cycling into Hoi an takes about 15 mins or 7 mins by taxi/minibus.
It was a great location.
The beach at An Bang looked better but we were there during the rainy season so didn't relax on the beach at all!
Have a fabulous holiday, we did!
