Long beach with resort security and family-friendly atmosphere. Safe and quiet - good for daytime beach, then walk to An Thuong restaurants when you want something more happening.
My Khe Beach is miles of white sand. Forbes called it one of the world's most beautiful beaches at some point. The area has upscale beachfront resorts and cheaper guesthouses - mix of tourists and locals swimming and jogging. Security guards patrol resort areas, major hotels have surveillance. Beach feels safe during the day - rescue teams on duty, families around. Beach vendors sell coconuts and snacks. They're persistent but not aggressive. After dark, the beachfront path stays active with joggers and walkers until 9-10pm. Don't swim after 8pm - visibility drops. Less social than An Thuong, more peaceful and family-oriented. You can walk to An Thuong restaurants when you want more action, then come back to the quieter beach. The resort security and lit beach path make it comfortable for walking alone.
