And although they aren&#8217;t very big, they offer a good dose of nature, beaches and quiet corners to beat the Vietnamese heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article we&#8217;ll tell you everything you can see and do on the Cham Islands.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although they&#8217;re small, the Chams hide some beaches that are perfect for switching off, taking a swim or simply flopping down and doing nothing. Here are the most interesting ones, so you know where to go and what to expect from each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai_xep_beach\"><\/span>Bai Xep beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of our favorites. <strong>Small, quiet and with the finest sand<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a very short distance from the main village and easy to reach, since it sits right by the side of the road. Ideal for a quick swim or for relaxing without too many people around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai_chong_beach\"><\/span>Bai Chong beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More touristy, but it still has its charm. It&#8217;s a <strong>wide beach, with sun loungers and several restaurants<\/strong> facing the sea. During our visit they charged us a small fee (around 25,000 VND per person) to get in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s <strong>a regular stop on organized trips from Hoi An<\/strong>, so if you want peace and quiet, we recommend going early in the morning or at sunset. You can get there easily by motorbike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-xep-beach-2.webp\" alt=\"playa de bai xep en las islas cham\" class=\"wp-image-3236\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-xep-beach-2.webp 797w, https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-xep-beach-2-300x226.webp 300w, https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-xep-beach-2-768x578.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai_bim_beach\"><\/span>Bai Bim beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In theory it&#8217;s one of the best beaches on the island, but as of 2025 it remained <strong>closed to the public<\/strong>.

A very local, laid-back atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-huong-1.webp\" alt=\"bai huong en las islas cham\" class=\"wp-image-3237\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-huong-1.webp 797w, https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-huong-1-300x226.webp 300w, https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bai-huong-1-768x578.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai_ong_beach\"><\/span>Bai Ong beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is, without doubt, <strong>the most touristy beach on the whole island.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the boats with day tours from Hoi An and <a href=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/en\/danang\/\">Da Nang<\/a> arrive, so it tends to be fairly busy. It&#8217;s packed with restaurants, though the food generally leaves something to be desired for the price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d like to see it in peace, come at sunrise or sunset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right next to it there&#8217;s a small helipad from which you can get a good panoramic shot of the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bai-ong-beach.webp\" alt=\"playa de bai ong en las islas cham\" class=\"wp-image-3238\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bai-ong-beach.webp 797w, https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bai-ong-beach-300x226.webp 300w, https:\/\/viajarvietnam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bai-ong-beach-768x578.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bai_bac_beach\"><\/span>Bai Bac beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is <strong>one of the prettiest beaches in all the Cham Islands<\/strong>. With white sand and particularly calm water, thanks to its position in a bay, it&#8217;s perfect for spending a good while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also has plenty of coconut palms planted along it, which means there&#8217;s a bit of shade so you don&#8217;t have to roast in the sun the whole time you&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It <strong>sits on the grounds of a now-abandoned old resort<\/strong>, where a guy asks for an entrance fee of around 25,000 VND from foreigners only \u2014 a practice we strongly disliked, but which sadly is still common in some places in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\"

the best things you can do in the Cham Islands is rent a motorbike and ride around Cu Lao Cham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This island&#8217;s roads, practically empty, are an absolute delight for anyone who loves traveling free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, be ready for roads full of <strong>climbs and descents \u2014 thankfully with virtually no traffic at all<\/strong>, which makes them far more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the eastern side of the island the asphalt disappears and the road is half wrecked, with enormous rocks strewn across it, probably left behind by the odd typhoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, although much of the area is a military zone, you can follow the road until you reach <strong>one of the island&#8217;s landmark trees, a banyan you&#8217;ll recognize by its sheer size<\/strong> \u2014 and while the tree itself isn&#8217;t especially spectacular, the ride and the views along the way certainly are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve marked it on the map further down, since it isn&#8217;t very well signposted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"600\"

class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"go_snorkeling_at_hon_dai\"><\/span>Go snorkeling at Hon Dai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If anything draws travelers to the Chams, it&#8217;s what hides beneath their waters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Snorkeling or diving here is one of the best things to do in the Cham Islands<\/strong>, and rightly so: there&#8217;s coral, colorful fish and a seabed that surprises, especially if it&#8217;s your first time in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diving costs <strong>around 650,000 VND (~US$25) per dive<\/strong>, and if you&#8217;re more of a <strong>snorkeler you can do it for around 400,000 VND (~US$15.40).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are agencies both in Hoi An and on the island itself that organize the activity with all the gear included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you&#8217;d prefer something freer, you can simply rent a mask and snorkel (many guesthouses and shops on the island offer them) and explore some of the rocky areas around Cu Lao&#8217;s beaches on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t expect coral on the level of the Philippines or Indonesia, but if you catch a good day with a calm sea and not too many people, the experience is well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\"

Perfect if you want everything close at hand without giving up the calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"staying_in_bai_huong\"><\/span>Staying in Bai Huong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other option for staying in the Cham Islands is Bai Huong, the second village on the island, down in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bai Huong is considerably smaller than Bai Lang, so if you&#8217;re looking for somewhere even quieter, this is the perfect option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-background\" style=\"background-color:#9bbf7a66\"><code>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: in both villages the accommodation is very basic (homestay style) but welcoming.

You can also arrange it through your accommodation, which sometimes sorts it out for you at a discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price: between <strong>150,000 and 200,000 VND per day<\/strong> (~US$5.80-7.70)<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most include some fuel, though it&#8217;s worth asking<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re staying more days, you can negotiate the price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roads are very quiet, but bear in mind there are plenty of hills and stretches where the asphalt is in bad shape, especially toward the east of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not confident riding yourself? No problem. You can hire someone to take you as a passenger on their motorbike. Just ask at your homestay \u2014 they usually have someone they trust who does it, and the price will depend on the route you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-background\" style=\"background-color:#9bbf7a66\"><code>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: always carry some cash, as there are no ATMs on the island.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_long_to_spend_in_the_cham_islands\"><\/span>How long to spend in the Cham Islands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on what you&#8217;re after, but for most travelers <strong>one or two days<\/strong> is enough to properly enjoy the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you only have one day, then the best plan is an <strong>organized trip<\/strong> from Hoi An.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;ll pick you up early, you&#8217;ll spend the day between the beach and snorkeling, and you&#8217;ll be back in the afternoon. Ideal if you&#8217;re tight on time and just want a day of switching off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re the type who takes it slow, we recommend <strong>spending at least one night<\/strong> on the island. That way you can ride around it, have seafood by the sea, swim without rushing and watch the island empty out once the tours leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed <strong>two nights<\/strong> and it was more than enough.
