The Han River rooftops emphasize the bridges and the fire show. These five are different.
They face the ocean, wide and endless. These oceanfront rooftops Da Nang overlook the East Sea. The terraces sit within a few minutes of each other on the My Khe strip.
I’ve sat on every terrace, usually at sunset. I often had a cocktail that cost less than I expected. No river, no city skyline—just the East Sea and the coast during golden hour.
If you’re checking flights to Da Nang, add one of these to your evening list.
