There are two distinct seasons in the area of An Bang: the dry season (February - August) & the rainy season (September - January). The best time to visit the beach is from February to August when the weather is nice and cool with warm rays of sunshine, suitable for beach activities. From September to January, it rains more frequently and storms sometimes happen, which has negative effects on your trip.
Because the tourism industry has not been strongly developed, An Bang beach Vietnam still keeps its pristine and unspoiled beauty, which is a perfect destination for those who are looking for an off-the-beaten path to keep away from the hustle and bustle of hectic life. The crystal clear blue seawater mirroring the blue sky with seas of white clouds, creating a picturesque scene that lingers visitors’ minds for such a long time. At dawn, the beach boasts its gentle beauty like a damsel with the light sunlight shining to the sea surface, creating the sparkling waves gently patting the shore. The smooth stretching sand along An Bang Vietnam is an ideal place for strolling around and immersing in the immense space and cool wind from the sea. At sunset, the entire space is dyed in the yellow and orange of the splendid sun, mixed with the wavering waves, which is incredibly miraculous and magical. The best time to watch this magnificent scenery is from 5pm - 6pm. On the shore are a couple of small, rustic basket boats, which are the main means of transport of fishermen in Hoi An.
Along the coast are numerous charming cafes, restaurants and bars to meet the needs of visitors, of which the most prominent ones are The Deck House, The Shore Club, and the Soul Kitchen - Beach Bar & Restaurant. Besides, there are bamboo huts on An Bang beach Hoi An for you to let your hair down amongst the vast space, breathing the cool air from sea and reading books so that your mind can wander in the absolute quiet and tranquil moments. You can also join yoga classes in the afternoon to strengthen your physical health and meditate your mind.
With the clear water and favorable weather, this is really the best place for swimming and partaking in interesting games such as paragliding, windsurfing, boating, canoeing, water motorbike riding, or simply strolling on the smooth sand and enjoying the beautiful landscape.
