Da Nang's beaches, fireworks: “Connecting Horizons”

A "double experience"

In summer, beach tourism in Da Nang City enters its peak season. It is also the time for the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) to take place, attracting a large number of tourists to the city.

The linkage of DIFF and beach tourism activities creates a series of attractive experiences, contributing to the diversification and enhancement of local tourism products, helping to extend visitors’ stay and stimulate their consumption in Da Nang.

Beach tourism is Da Nang’s greatest competitive advantage compared to many other localities.

The city develops a diverse range of beach tourism products such as water sports (paragliding, kayaking, flyboarding, and SUP paddling), fishing tours, snorkeling to admire coral reefs, enjoying seafood, or simply relaxing on long sandy beaches to watch the sunrise and sunset…

Besides, the coastal resorts combining wellness, spa, and high-end cuisine encourage tourists to stay longer.

The linkage of the DIFF on the Han River and the beach creates a seamless experience for visitors: enjoy the beach during the day and watch the fireworks combined with musical performances and light shows at night.

Many international tourists have shared their comments on social media, they chose Da Nang because "it offers both artistic fireworks and high-quality beach resorts in one destination."

A journey of multi-layered emotions

Lonely Planet, a leading travel media company in the world, has just announced its list of “The Best Destinations in Asia for Summer”, with Da Nang taking the No 2 spot. Accordingly, Da Nang emerges as an outdoor lover’s paradise, whether visitors choose to relax on beaches such as My Khe and Non Nuoc or explore distinctive architecture at sites like the Dragon Bridge.

The harmonious combination of natural resources, cultural values, and well-developed tourism infrastructure has helped Da Nang maintain its appeal. Beyond being a resort destination, the city offers diverse experiences ranging from nature and culture exploration to cuisine and high-quality tourism services.

In the summer of 2026, Da Nang is accelerating its strategy of festive events to attract more tourists. For example, the beach tourism festival kicked off in early May with the theme "A Brilliant Summer".

DIFF 2026 with the theme “Da Nang - Connecting Horizons,” lasting from May 30th to July 11th, promises a series of explosive events throughout the summer.

The competition is not only a showcase of the world's leading fireworks teams, but also a multi-layered experience, where light and music extend across open cultural and festive spaces, from the banks of the Han River, across the bridges, along the city center streets, to the sea.

This year, there's a growing trend of tourists choosing to book spots to watch fireworks from beachfront bars and pubs, seeking a romantic experience. These spots often organize fireworks viewing programs combined with dinner parties, music, and relaxation.

Olivia Harper, a British tourist, who enjoyed the DIFF 2026’s fireworks displays at Da Nang’s My Khe beach shared, watching fireworks from the sea offers a panoramic and unobstructed view. It’s a very special moment, standing before the vast sea and sky, gazing up at the illuminated Da Nang summer sky. The light bursting from the fireworks gradually spreads throughout the space, permeating every emotion.

Olivia said she will return to Da Nang for one again experiencing the exhilaration of fireworks and the sea.
