Da Nang

Da Nang has two very different waterfront runs: the Han River through the city center and the longer coastal footways along My Khe. The 29/3 lake park adds a short inland option when its paths are open. Heat, monsoon weather and event fencing matter more than chasing a pace; carry water and check current conditions.

More places to run

Non Nuoc Beach

Farther south, the Non Nuoc beach area suits a separate coastal outing from nearby resorts. Use signed public beach access and check how the paths in front of the hotels connect before setting a distance.

Park / route information

Son Tra Peninsula

A much hillier excursion northeast of the city. Ask about current visitor access and permitted routes, arrange return transport and avoid assuming that every forest or coastal road is open to runners.
