An
Bang – little known beautiful beach in Hoi An
Only when presented in the list of top 50 most beautiful beaches
in the world of CNNGo page, An Bang is newly known though it’s just over one km
far from Cua Dai Beach.
Early
morning in the Central, the sun has begun to dawn on the horizon at only 5 a.m.
It hasn’t beensunny yet but everything’s clear, the cool wind blows from the
Thu Bon River.It is also interesting time to ride by bicycle along the small
path with coconut trees from Hoi An towards the sea.
Only a
few kilometers from Hoi An, bicycle wheels roll through lush green fields,
across a small bridge spanning the river towards the sea.Instead of going
straight to Cua Dai beach, you turn left along the coastal footpath and run for
about one km further to reach An Bang.

Strips
of sea funnel spreading on the sloping sand bloom purple flowers in the sun. On
the deserted beach, a few people are rushing into the sea. They are not tourists
but people around here who are used to going to the beach every morning. Not
picky with parasols, umbrellas, tables and chairs, only having pure sea waves,
4 km sandy beach and brilliant sunshine overhead.
An Bang
in Cam An ward, Hoi An is the beach of people living around the area. They
usually come here for swimming, playing sports or going for a walk in the
morning, before starting a new working day. Therefore, in the morning, we could
meet boys and girls desperately catching wind- sea crab, teenagers fighting for
a ball on the long sandy beach or elderly couples sitting to talk with each
other, watching basket boats bobbing in the distance. Just for a moment, when
the sun rises completely, they will disperse to do routine working and bring
back peaceful beach with gentle waves.

An Bang
has just developed simple services such as home-stay for tourists.Despite
tourists starting to know and visit in recent years, An Bang still retains
peaceful and unspoiled line.Seaway stretches with fine sand dunes.The waves
here are not too big but gentle on the beach. It’s not as noisy as Cua Dai
beach; visitors lie on the couch reading a book comfortably, sunbathe and enjoy
delicious food on the beach.The sea is deserted and quiet; far away from Cu Lao
Cham Island.When the sun rises highly, you can stay under coconut leaf roofs to
avoid the sun and are not bored with lying all day.
In An
Bang, most of visitors drive here in the morning, play all day without boredom on
the beach and return to Hoi An at night.Guests loving the sea will stay in
simple guesthouses on the beach to watch all sparkling stars and waves surfing
relentlessly from the sea.

After 3
years from the date of being voted in top 50 most beautiful beaches in the
world, An Bang still remains its rustic and simple beauty. Services are not
massively developed due to the title. People do not still move here for sales
or pick up visitors because this beach belongs to Hoi An’s fishermen and those
who love calmness of the sea.
