Nam O Beach

Nam O Beach is a coastal attraction in Hoa Hiep Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District, Da Nang, Vietnam, located at the foot of Hai Van Pass where the Cu De River meets the East Sea. Known for its rocky shoreline, Nam O Reef and traditional fishing village, it is notable for seasonal green moss covering the rocks, clear water, and long-standing fish sauce craft. The beach offers scenic views and a quieter alternative to central Da Nang beaches.

Visitors can expect a relatively undeveloped beach with a mix of sandy stretches and extensive rocky reef areas extending into the sea. The shoreline is lined with fishing boats, small local seafood eateries and views of Hai Van Pass and the Cu De estuary. At low tide, exposed rocks covered in seasonal green moss create distinctive scenery for walking and photography. The adjacent Nam O fishing village shows traditional coastal life.

Nam O is associated with a fishing village established several hundred years ago at the Cu De River mouth below Hai Van Pass, historically known for traditional fish sauce production and as a long-standing coastal settlement in the Da Nang area.

The beach is culturally linked to Nam O fishing village traditions, including artisanal fish sauce making, inshore fishing practices, and community life centered on the sea and river estuary.
