Learning to surf at My Khe Beach is a great way to spend time in the water while building confidence on the waves with professional guidance. Suitable for beginners and intermediate surfers, these small group lessons focus on practical techniques, ocean safety, and enjoying the experience at a relaxed pace.
Your session begins close to My Khe Beach, where you will meet the instructor, collect your surf equipment, and prepare for the lesson. Rash vests or wetsuits are provided depending on the weather and sea conditions, and the instructor will explain the basics before heading towards the shoreline. After a short walk to the beach, the group starts with warm-up exercises to prepare for paddling and balance work in the water.
Once on the sand, the lesson moves into a practical introduction to surfing. The instructor explains how to position yourself on the board, paddle efficiently, and perform the pop-up technique used to stand on the wave. Safety is covered throughout the session, including how to enter the water correctly, manage smaller waves, and stay aware of others nearby.
Most of the lesson takes place in the sea, where you will practise catching waves with support and feedback from the instructor. Beginners focus on timing and balance, while intermediate surfers can improve control and confidence in changing conditions. After the lesson, the group heads back from the beach with time to shower and change before finishing the activity.
Set along the coastline of Sơn Trà, My Khe Beach is one of Da Nang’s best-known beaches for beginner surfing thanks to its wide sandy shoreline and consistent wave conditions. The open beach gives learners plenty of space to practise comfortably, making it suitable for both adults and younger surfers trying the sport for the first time.
Beyond the beach itself, the surrounding area combines coastal scenery with cafés, restaurants, and easy access to central Da Nang. The nearby Sơn Trà Peninsula adds a more natural backdrop to the experience, with sea views and quieter coastal roads only a short distance away.
No previous surfing experience is needed for beginners joining the lesson, and instructors adapt the session depending on confidence and ability levels within the group. Participants should feel comfortable entering the sea and taking part in light physical activity throughout the session.
Families, solo travellers, and groups are all welcome, with lessons designed to keep the learning environment supportive and approachable. Intermediate surfers can also join to improve their existing technique and gain more time practising in the water.
Small lesson sizes allow instructors to spend more time supporting each participant both on the beach and in the sea. The focus is placed on learning proper technique while creating a relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy the process of improving at their own pace.
Backed by experienced surf instructors and quality equipment, these lessons provide a comfortable introduction to surfing in one of Vietnam’s most popular coastal locations. Guests receive guidance throughout the session while spending as much time as possible actively practising on the waves.
