Thuan An Beach is 15 kilometres east of Hue, an easy drive or motorbike ride along the road that follows the Huong River. The journey takes around 30 minutes.
By motorbike or bicycle
The most pleasant way to get there. The road from Hue follows the southern bank of the Huong River, passing temples and rice paddies, and is flat and well-surfaced throughout. Bicycles can make the journey in about an hour.
By car or taxi
Taxis from Hue take around 30 minutes. Agree a price before you leave, or use a ride-hailing app. A return trip with waiting time costs a reasonable sum by Western standards.
By xe om (motorbike taxi)
Xe om drivers in Hue are familiar with the beach and the trip. Negotiate the price at the start — a return with an hour of waiting time is the standard arrangement.
