Exciting sports activities at Enjoy Da Nang Festival 2026

One of the attractive sports activities is a series of beach sports competitions being held at My Khe, Nam Xuan Thieu, Thanh Khe and Lien Chieu beaches.

Such competitions as SUP racing and beach volleyball feature the participation of both amateur and professional athletes.

To create a vibrant atmosphere along local beaches, visitors can also enjoy demonstrations of paragliding, parasailing, jet skiing and surfing, as well as hands-on basket boat rowing experiences.

Parasailing, which has been introduced in recent years as a tourism product in Da Nang, has quickly become a popular attraction.

Participants are securely harnessed before being towed by a speedboat, soaring 70 - 100 meters above the sea for panoramic views of the city's coastline.

“

Through these activities, Da Nang aims to position itself as a dynamic, multi-experience destination with unique tourism products.

Meanwhile, jet skiing is suitable for thrill seekers. Participants wear life jackets and are instructed by staff on how to drive at safe speeds.

Complementing these activities is the Waterfun Beach Challenge which features a variety of physical challenges, games and team-building activities.

Another festival highlight is the Barefoot Beach Run which will take place along the beach in front of the Ariyana International Convention Centre Da Nang.

The 4-km route starts at Ariyana Beach, runs to the beach opposite Muong Thanh Luxury Da Nang Hotel, and returns to the starting point.

For those seeking a more tranquil experience, there will be sunrise breathing meditation and yoga sessions, and sun salutation yoga accompanied by relaxing music under the guidance of experienced instructors.

These activities will be held at Pham Van Dong, An Bang and Tam Thanh beaches. In addition, the Meditation for Inner Peace program will take place at the Linh Ung Pagoda.

These sports activities, within the framework of the Enjoy Da Nang Festival 2026, not only contribute to spreading the beach sports movement but also promote the beauty of Da Nang's beaches to domestic and international tourists.
