2.1 Dawn at Man Thai Beach — a poetic scene that touches the heart

Sunrise over Da Nang’s beach and Son Tra Mountain is a beautiful moment where the rhythms of the sea, the mountains, and fishing-village life harmonize, evoking peace and depth. There’s nothing better than welcoming a new day at Man Thai Beach, a place beloved by many travelers and considered one of the most beautiful sunrise spots in Da Nang.
As the sun begins to rise from behind the Son Tra range, its first light gently spreads across the sea and reflects on the water as small boats quietly return from their night’s catch. It unfolds like a serene, life-filled painting woven from poetry and realism. To capture Da Nang’s most beautiful summer sunrises, it’s best to visit from around 4:30 to 6:00 a.m.
Beyond sunrise lovers, this place also enchants visitors with its early-morning seafood market held right at the water’s edge. Modest in scale yet full of energy, it’s filled with fresh seafood scented with the tang of the tide. It’s a precious glimpse into the everyday life and heartbeat of a fishing village in the heart of a seaside city.

2.2 Paddle a SUP at sunrise — a unique morning activity in the fishing village

SUP at Man Thai Beach has been attracting more and more adventurous young people and travelers as a fresh and exciting marine activity. Beyond being great exercise, SUP also offers precious time to savor the sea’s beauty from a calm, peaceful perspective in the middle of the vast ocean.
To fully enjoy this moment, choose the early morning or sunset. At sunrise or sunset, the entire sea is bathed in vibrant oranges and pinks, creating a romantic and majestic scene that will stay with you long after your trip.
