VietNamNet Bridge – An Bang Beach, 3km east of central Hoi An, Quang Nam Province, was ranked 43rd among a list of 50 outstanding beaches by website www.cnngo.com.

The website described it as having "gentle waves and soft white sand."

"Recently, it's picked up speed among expat tourists, which explains the Western-managed bars and restaurants along the waterfront. The bars are a great spot to mingle, but if you're in a solitary mood, walk away from the main stretch and you'll feel like you have the place to yourself," it added.

The pure and pristine 4km beach is a destination to welcome local and international tourists to Hoi An.

Le Van Giang, chairman of the Hoi An People's Committee, said that tourism infrastructure would be continually developed to attract more visitors.
