Quang Ngai is not only an economic hub in the Central region with the Dung Quat oil refinery, Vietnam's first oil refinery, but also a beautiful coastal city with a coastline stretching approximately 129km. Nature has generously provided this area with a vast seafood resource and a series of incredibly beautiful beaches.
Beautiful Beaches in Quang Ngai
Ly Son Beach
Ly Son is perhaps the most famous destination in Quang Ngai for those who love the open sea. The entire Ly Son Island is divided into two small islands: Big Island and Small Island. Often likened to a gem in the heart of the open sea, the beauty of Ly Son's sea comes from the crystal-clear water that allows you to see all the way to the bottom, along with the gentle waves. In some shallow areas, you can even admire coral reefs near the shore just by wearing snorkeling goggles.

When visiting Ly Son, you definitely cannot miss Tò Vò Gate, an arched stone gate on the island formed entirely by nature without any human intervention. This natural stone gate is also the number one virtual living photo spot for anyone, especially young people when visiting Ly Son.

Sa Huynh Beach
Formerly known as Sa Hoang, meaning 'golden sand', Sa Huynh has long been famous as the largest salt field in Central Vietnam, as well as a sea area with its own unique beauty. Unlike other beaches in Quang Ngai, the sand at Sa Huynh is not white but has a shiny golden color. Each sand dune sparkles with a golden glow under the sun's rays, winding along the curved tongue-shaped beach. Visiting Sa Huynh, tourists can immerse themselves in the fresh air with a hint of the sea, admiring the rows of coconut trees running along the sandy shore.

Along with the beauty of the sea, Sa Huynh also has winding Ban Mountain, rocky reefs at Chau Me, or Monkey Island, Bep Islet, Du Islet, Khu Ong Islet, and Son Islet located far offshore.

My Khe Beach
Located right next to National Highway 24B, My Khe Beach is often compared to a 'sleeping fairy' for its untouched and poetic beauty. My Khe is chosen as a destination for those who love tranquility, peace, and seek a resort getaway. Along with the long stretches of gently sloping white sand, My Khe Beach is surrounded by a lush green forest running along the coast and the Kinh River, which is enriched with alluvium throughout the year.

Sa Can Beach
Sa Can Beach in the hearts of visitors is perhaps an immense, peaceful stretch of water, blurry in the evening sunset. Along with the typical features of the sea such as clear blue water, white sandy shores, Sa Can also attracts visitors with the simplicity and charm of the fishing villages around the seashore with customs of worshipping Ong fish or boat racing events. These are the traditional cultural features passed down through many generations of people here, the beauty of time, the breath of history that not every place can preserve completely as here.
