Top places to visit in Quy Nhon
Ky Co Beach
Beach · 4.8 rating · about 4 h · entry VND 50,000
A hidden island beach only accessible by speedboat from Nhon Ly pier. Shallow turquoise water over white sand, surrounded by green hills — often compared to the Philippines. One of Vietnam's most beautiful beaches.
Quy Nhon City Beach
Beach · 4.4 rating · about 3 h
A 4 km urban beach curving through the heart of Quy Nhon city. Unlike Vietnam's more commercialised resort beaches, this one remains largely undeveloped — clean, wide, and popular mainly with locals. Crystal clear water.
Eo Gio (Wind Pass) Cliff Walk
Nature · 4.7 rating · about 1.5 h
A dramatic rocky headland 18 km north of Quy Nhon where crashing waves meet a jagged coastline and a narrow cliff path winds around the peninsula. One of Vietnam's most breathtaking coastal walks.
Banh It Cham Towers
Heritage · 4.5 rating · about 1.3 h · entry VND 15,000
A complex of four 11th-century Cham Hindu towers on a forested hill 20 km north of Quy Nhon. Some of the best-preserved Cham architecture in Vietnam. The silhouette of the towers against the sky at sunset is exceptional.
Thap Doi Cham Towers
Heritage · about 0.7 h
Twin 12th-century Cham brick towers in central Quy Nhon.
Ghenh Rang - Tien Sa
Viewpoint · about 1 h
Scenic hillside area with Han Mac Tu's tomb and a boulder-strewn beach.
