But Son Tra Beach – A pristine coastal bay that changes color twice daily, nestled right at the foot of Linh Ung Pagoda

If you're tired of crowded beaches in the city center and want to find a truly peaceful, pristine stretch of sea, then drive up to the Son Tra Peninsula — Bai But beach is waiting for you there. Bãi Bụt Beach is located on the southern part of the Son Tra Peninsula, about 14–15km from the center of Da Nang, roughly a 25–35 minute motorbike ride along Hoang Sa Road. On one side stands lush virgin forest cloaked in vibrant green, on the other the sea gently embraces white sandy shores — the name 'Bụt Bay' connects to a legend from the time of King Minh Mạng, when fishermen from Sơn Trà discovered a Buddha statue emerging from golden sand, and it was for this very reason that Linh Ứng Temple with its towering Buddha statue was built right above. The seawater here is so clear that you can see every small school of fish, and the most fascinating thing is that the water color changes twice every day: a striking azure blue at noon, turning to a greenish hue in the afternoon. ✨ Reasons you should visit: 🌊 A pristine, untouched bay with gentle waves and crystal-clear water – much quieter and more peaceful than Mỹ Khê or Phạm Văn Đồng Beach. 🤿 Many underwater activities: coral reef diving (around 300,000 VND per person), SUP paddling, and self-driving canoe rentals. 🛕 Just a few minutes from Linh Ung Pagoda – enjoy both the beach and Da Nang's most famous spiritual destination in one trip. 📸 A stunning view from the road down to the bay, especially at sunrise and sunset. 📍 Bai But, Hoang Sa Street, Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang 🚗 About 15km from Da Nang city center (25–35 minutes by car) 🕐 Most beautiful from January to August, when the sea is calm and there's little rain
