Tam Kỳ
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Tam Kỳ, mainly for the beach and local market; no need to stay overnight unless you want a quiet seaside night.
Tam Kỳ is a small city on Vietnam's Central Coast, best visited as a brief stop between Da Nang and Quảng Ngãi. Its main attractions are the nearby Tam Thanh beach, a modest museum, and a fishing‑village mural area. One day covers the highlights; overnight stays are optional for beach relaxation.
