Пляж An Bang

The water was not clear. Couldn’t see the bottom.

Nice beach, swimming was nice, some small waves, very commercialized but room enough to spread your towel undisturbed and have a swim and find your gear as you left it. Sub tropical and great for cooling off when temperatures were in the mid 30's [C].

The beach is beautiful, with parking, showers, and many restaurants and eateries. The swimming area is lovely, the water is cool, and the sand is fine. After swimming in the afternoon, you can enjoy a delicious bowl of clam porridge or bone broth porridge.

It was terrible. Maybe we were unlucky, but honestly, it wasn't great from the start. We bought drinks, and they charged us for the sunbeds too. In the 15 minutes we were there, four vendors came over, though if you shook your head, they immediately left. The owner of the sunbeds was smoking on the sunbed next to us and didn't want to understand that I didn't smoke. And the worst part is the sea is so shallow, it's impossible to swim. And they stole my glasses. It's been a while since I've had my glasses stolen; the last time was about 15 years ago in Kabardinka. Abroad, not in Thailand, the Philippines, or Montenegro, I never even considered hiding used glasses—not the worst, but not luxury either (not Dior, not Chanel). We left 15 minutes after arriving, since it wasn't clear whether we were allowed to leave anything on the sunbed. In Montenegro, I was alone and somehow, like a crow, I left my wallet with a decent amount of euros in a prominent place; not a single euro was missing; someone thoughtfully covered the wallet with a hat.

Get a bike from your old town hotel and ride here in early morning to join the locals for a beautiful sunrise and a morning beach walk. There is a free open shower area and free parking.

My relatives and I decided to go to An Bang beach for some relaxation and to watch the sunset. We brought some food to eat while drinking beers and singing for fun. The wave current was somewhat strong, so we decided not to swim. Overall, we had a great time at the beach.
