FAQ
Is it safe to swim?
Fairly safe in the dry season (February to August). Lifeguards are stationed at four points, and flags show conditions: blue (safe), yellow (caution), red (no swimming). In the rainy season (September to December), rip currents and big waves can be dangerous; never go in under a red flag.
How do the sunbeds work?
Paid sunbeds (VND 50,000 to 100,000 each) line the beach, and often you can use one if you order drinks or food. Pick a spot in a marked area and order from the staff.
Can I learn to surf?
Yes, there are surf schools at the northern end. A 2 to 3 hour beginner lesson is about USD 30 to 50. The waves suit surfing in the later dry season (April to August), and board hire alone is available.
How do I get there from the airport?
About 15 minutes by Grab, roughly VND 80,000 to 120,000; metered taxis are similar. A hotel pickup is also convenient.
Can I day-trip to Hoi An from My Khe?
Yes. Grab takes 30 to 40 minutes (about VND 150,000 to 200,000 one way). A popular plan: My Khe in the morning, lunch in Hoi An Old Town, the lanterns in the afternoon and evening, then back.
