About Bai Xep Beach
Bai Xep Beach is a small crescent-shaped beach in Ghenh Rang Ward, about 13 km south of central Quy Nhon in Gia Lai Province. Framed by rocky headlands and a traditional fishing village, it has golden sand, clear shallow water and moored fishing boats. Formerly a quiet local beach, it is now known for its relatively undeveloped, tranquil setting and is visited for swimming, photography and observing coastal village life.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, curved sandy beach bordered by rocky outcrops at both ends and a working fishing village behind the shore. The water is generally clear and calm in dry season, with colorful fishing boats and coracles on the sand and in the water. The area has low-rise homestays, seafood eateries and beachfront cafes rather than large resorts. Visitors can walk the shoreline, swim in designated calm areas, photograph the village and sunrise, and observe daily fishing activities.

History of Bai Xep Beach
Bai Xep was historically a small fishing settlement within Ghenh Rang serving the Quy Nhon coastal area. It remained largely undeveloped until the 2010s when small homestays and guesthouses began catering to domestic and international visitors seeking a quieter alternative to central Quy Nhon beaches.
Culture & Context
The beach is closely associated with the local fishing community of Ghenh Rang. Daily fishing activities, boat mooring, net mending and seafood preparation reflect traditional coastal livelihoods that visitors can observe.
