Sơn Trà is the east bank of the Hàn, running from the Dragon Bridge across to My Khe beach and north onto the forested peninsula that gives it its name. The old district covered 60 km² and had 173,455 residents in 2018, with Sơn Trà mountain taking up a large share of the land.2 Since July 2025, Phước Mỹ, An Hải Bắc and An Hải Nam form An Hải ward, while Thọ Quang, Nại Hiên Đông and Mân Thái form Sơn Trà ward.1

Most visitors sleep in the An Hải strip between the river and the beach road. South Korea has been Da Nang's largest source of international visitors since 2016, and 12 airlines now run 150 direct flights a week between the two countries.3 For coffee, this is the area with the longest hours: Sơn Trà has more cafés open until 22:00 or later than any other area.

Local tip: Rent a manual motorbike or book a car if you plan to ride up to the Sơn Trà peninsula. Automatic scooters are not allowed on its roads.

Café streets between the bridge and the beach

Sơn Trà's cafés line up along a few streets. Nguyễn Công Trứ has Kin Cafe & Homebakes at 282 (08:00–21:00), which is quiet, good for work and stocks oat milk, plus DREAMER at 230 and NO LIMITS Coffee & Juice at 233. Phạm Văn Đồng has BOSS cafe at 168, Nice coffee at 200 and Normad Cafe at 106.

The numbered lanes off the beach road hold a cluster of smaller places: Tamarind Coffee on Mỹ Khê 3, GỐM Garden Coffee and NHIÊN Bistro on Mỹ Khê 5, TaHi Garden on Mỹ Khê 7. Around An Cư 6 are Phin Cũ Cafe and Spanda Yoga Café, which serves vegan food Monday to Saturday, 08:00–17:00.

Who opens first and who closes last

Maison du Café at 216 Võ Nguyên Giáp, on the beach road itself, opens at 06:00, as do Coffee Thanh Hà, AROWANA 88 on Lê Hữu Trác and Trạm Bơm Cafe at 1083 Ngô Quyền. Coffee Trúc Nguyên at 103 Nguyễn Xuân Khoát and Son Tra Ocean View Cafe at 95 Ngô Quyền never close.

At the late end, BOSS cafe runs until 02:00 and Normad Cafe until midnight. On Trần Hưng Đạo, the riverside road, Marina Coffee stays open until 23:00 and Minori until 22:30. That is the bank to be on for the Dragon Bridge show: the dragon's head sits at the east end, on the Trần Hưng Đạo side, and it breathes fire and water at 21:00 on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.78

Mân Thái and the fishing wards

North of the hotel strip, the new Sơn Trà ward takes in Mân Thái and Thọ Quang, where boats still land on the sand. At Mân Thái the catch comes in around 04:00, and the beach market is busiest from 04:30 to 06:30: hairtail, pomfret, scad, anchovies and squid still flickering with color.5 A buyer quoted by Tuổi Trẻ in August 2025 paid 160,000₫ per kilogram of pomfret.5

The same beach draws a sunrise crowd. Young locals rent stand-up paddleboards at Mân Thái to watch the sun come up from the water.6

Riding up the peninsula

The Sơn Trà peninsula starts about 10 km northeast of the center. Its protected forest covers 4,390 hectares, the highest peak reaches 696 m, and surveys have counted nearly 300 red-shanked douc langurs.4 Cars and manual motorbikes may use three designated routes; automatic scooters and buses with more than 24 seats may not.4

Barriers lock outside visiting hours, which run 07:30–18:30 from March to September and 07:30–17:30 from October to February. Feeding the langurs or monkeys is not allowed.4 Cafés thin out north of the hotel strip; BitCoffee at 1 Nguyễn Đăng Giai is one of the few there, open Tuesday to Sunday, 08:00–20:00.
