Cua Dai Beach is Hoi An's original beach getaway, a few kilometres from the busier An Bang Beach, with a quieter feel: a handful of seafood shacks and a couple of resort properties rather than An Bang's cafe strip. Coastal erosion has narrowed the sand in recent years, so weekday mornings are the best time to visit before the tide comes in.
Some makeshift shops and eateries lined along the beach serve fresh seafood and cool fruit drinks to the tourists hoping to relax on the white, powder-like sand. There are a number of high end hotels and luxury resorts offering accommodation to the visitors keen on enjoying the sun and sand at the end of the Cua Dai Road with private swimming and sea viewing areas kept segregated from the public spots of the beach. Nature lovers and people looking for private space will find the Cua Dai Beach to be a perfect destination
