Is it practical to stay away from the beach in Da Nang with kids and use taxis, or is a first-line beach hotel better?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
With kids, staying near My Khe Beach is usually more practical in Da Nang because it reduces road crossings and walking in the heat. If you stay inland, taxis for 3–5 km are cheap—about 100 RUB one way—but daily beach trips are less comfortable due to heat and poor sidewalks.
What the community said
With a small child, a first-line hotel by the beach is more convenient: in Da Nang’s heat, daily trips from a riverfront hotel can be tiring because sidewalks are limited. Muong Thanh on the beachfront was mentioned as a better family-friendly option.

If you stay away from the beach, using taxis is realistic and inexpensive: a 3–5 km ride is roughly up to 100 RUB one way. This works if decent beachside hotels are already sold out.

In Da Nang, many hotels are close to the sea but do not have direct beach access: there is often a road between the property and My Khe Beach. Families who want to avoid repeated road crossings with a child should check for true first-line location, not just “near the beach.”
