Situated in Hoa Hiep Bac Ward, Lien Chieu District, Nam O Coral Reef is approximately 17km northwest of Da Nang's center. Travel past the Xuân Thiều beach and through the fishing village; you'll discover a beach adorned with moss-covered rocks.


The vast Nam O Reef lies amidst a sea area with rocky outcrops of various sizes, formed by nature, showcasing a wild and alluring beauty. Nam O Coral Reef in Da Nang stretches about 500m, featuring multiple underwater rock layers that unveil their untamed beauty during low tides.

Around the beginning of spring, Nam O Reef adorns itself with the vibrant green beauty of moss. The rocky crags covered in moss blend harmoniously with the crystal-clear seawater, leaving tourists in awe. Standing on the reef, facing east, you'll see Son Tra Peninsula, while to the west, the Hai Van Pass emerges amidst the clouds.

According to experience, the best time to capture the enchanting moss is early in the morning, during low tide when the moss-covered rocky outcrops appear most vividly throughout the day.
