If you're a surfing enthusiast, seek out bigger waves inAustraliaorHawaii.CuaDaiBeachis not a beach for thrill-seekers. Instead, with pristine, white sands and moderate, gentle waves,CuaDaiBeachis better for moonlit strolls and floating around in the water. Because of the monsoon cycles inSoutheast Asia, swimming is really safest from April through October, and other time is not advised.

When feel tired, you can hire a deck chair with a small fee, then relax in the sun and enjoy the sand and the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore. If you get hungry, there is plenty of fresh seafood to be had from the beach's many kiosks. Run by the locals, these little restaurants offer fantastic food that's extremely fresh, unique, and difficult to find elsewhere. You can cool down with a pineapple drink, which comes highly recommended.
