About Bao Ninh Beach
Bao Ninh Beach is a long sandy beach in Bao Ninh Commune, Dong Hoi City, Quang Tri Province, located east of the Nhat Le River opposite the city centre. It is known for its wide stretch of fine sand, relatively calm waters and fishing village character. The beach is lined with casuarina trees, local seafood restaurants and resorts, and offers views of fishing boats and the Nhat Le estuary.
Visitors guide

The beach is generally quieter than Nhat Le Beach on the city side, with fishing boats anchored offshore and near the river mouth. Areas are open for walking, swimming and sunbathing, with resort and restaurant zones providing seating and dining. The surroundings include the Bao Ninh fishing village, Nhat Le Bridge and views across to Dong Hoi city.
