Two days in Da Nang work best when you choose one local base and leave space for the journey in and out. This plan pairs a gentle arrival with a focused full day; it does not assume every attraction is next door.
Day one: arrive and get oriented
Take a beach walk after check-in. Spend the next morning at Marble Mountains and leave the riverside for the evening, saving Son Tra for a separate outing. Before heading out, confirm your hotel check-in, the return address and the transport for the following day. If you arrive late, turn the first day into a single meal and a nearby walk.
Day two: choose one highlight, not all three
My Khe, Marble Mountains and Son Tra offer three different kinds of day. Marble Mountains includes steps, while a Son Tra outing needs a realistic vehicle route and current access checks. Consider My Khe Beach as the anchor, then add Marble Mountains only if the route and opening hours fit. Leave Son Tra Peninsula for a longer stay or use it instead of a rushed second stop.
Where to stay for this route
My Khe and An Thuong make beach walks and visitor dining easy to combine. A Han River base prioritises city evenings. Check the exact bridge or road route between your hotel and planned activities. A good base reduces repeated transfers, especially if you have an early arrival or a late return. Compare a map, room-specific reviews and the property’s cancellation terms before booking.
Travel connections and a realistic buffer
Arrival gateway: Da Nang (DAD). Rail context: Da Nang station; the beach districts require a separate road transfer. Confirm your exact operating service before paying. Keep the final transfer to My Khe and An Thuong separate in your budget and allow a buffer for check-in and traffic.
If conditions change
Heavy rain can affect outdoor stops and sea conditions; a beach-facing room does not guarantee swimming conditions. Protect the main highlight with a flexible slot; swap an outdoor stop for a local meal, museum or rest if conditions do not cooperate. Avoid treating a sample itinerary as a live timetable.
