Is Da Nang a good base for a beach holiday and day trips to Hoi An and Hue?

TL;DR
Da Nang is commonly seen as a convenient city hub for longer stays and exploring central Vietnam rather than a pure resort destination. Its biggest advantage is easy access to Hoi An and Hue, which travelers usually recommend visiting together with Da Nang.
What the community said
The latest take is that Da Nang and Nha Trang feel more like compact tourist-oriented cities, and the main areas of Da Nang can seem fairly similar for this kind of choice. If you want a much bigger urban experience, some travelers suggest considering the capital instead of Da Nang.

For a relaxed stay, Da Nang is considered convenient, but travelers more often describe it as a comfortable city for long-term living than a classic resort. The advantage is that it works well as a hub for trips around central Vietnam.

Da Nang is recommended as a standalone city with plenty of attractive places, but travelers usually do not stop there only. In practice, they often suggest adding Hoi An and Hue because both are nearby and are seen as must-visit side trips from Da Nang.
