Description

Nestled just 12 km south of Quy Nhơn City, Bãi Xép (Bai Xep Beach) is a tranquil coastal village that has remained largely untouched by mass tourism. Known for its golden sandy shores, emerald waters, and rocky cliffs, Bai Xep offers visitors a perfect escape into nature’s calm. The village still retains its authentic fishing charm — with locals mending nets by the sea and colorful boats bobbing gently on the waves.

Bai Xep is ideal for travelers seeking peace, romance, and authentic Vietnamese coastal life, far from crowded resorts.

Highlights

  • Golden Sand & Clear Water: Perfect for swimming and relaxing in peaceful surroundings.
  • Dramatic Rocky Cliffs: The northern end of the beach features black rocks that contrast beautifully with the turquoise sea — a great photography spot.
  • Charming Fishing Village: Witness daily life of local fishermen and enjoy the authenticity of rural Vietnam.
  • Eco-friendly Resorts: Stay in sustainable bungalows like Haven Vietnam or Avani Quy Nhon Resort, which blend harmoniously with nature.
