My Khe aka China Beach, Viet Nam

My Khe is a beach village on the east coast of Vietnam. It has become known by the name China Beach as a place of relaxation for American soldiers during the war in Vietnam. Today only few western travellers visit it, instead it is very popular with the locals.

In My Khe it is pleasant to enjoy beach life with Vietnamese people. At daytime the beach is rather deserted, but around three or four it becomes crowded very quickly when the locals come to relax after a day at work or school.

In the afternoon there are many kinds of peddlers selling snacks. You can use the beach chairs and umbrellas the whole day by buying your drinks from your own beach hostess.

If you are looking for something more lively the town of Danang is just a fifteen minute taxi trip away.
