There’s something about the slow pace of the town and its almost fairy tale-like setting that made me want to sink back into the place and linger for days on end even though I still had the rest of northern Vietnam left to discover.
Hoi An may not have a huge reputation as a beach town, but it actually has two really nice beaches to choose from! If you’re willing to hop on a bike and cycle a few kilometres, you can reach An Bang Beach (located 3 kilometres north of the city) or Cua Dai Beach (located 5 kilometres east of the city).
