My Khe
My Khe is Vietnam's surf frontier—a beautiful beach near Da Nang named among the world's most stunning, where surfing is slowly gaining a foothold. The gentle beach break receives northeast monsoon swells from November through March, providing consistent small waves perfect for the country's growing surf community. Vietnam's surf scene is in its infancy, which means uncrowded lineups and the excitement of genuine discovery. The excellent cuisine, affordable costs, and fascinating history make Da Nang an increasingly attractive base for exploring surf in a region few have considered.
