Open-Jaw Coastal Itinerary: Drive South Through Quy Nhon and Ganh Da Dia, Fly Out of Tuy Hoa Airport (TBB)

Designing a one-way (open-jaw) coastal road trip—departing overland from Da Nang or Hoi An south through Sa Huynh, exploring Quy Nhon Bay, Ky Co – Eo Gio, and the basalt columns of Ganh Da Dia, then flying directly out of Tuy Hoa Airport (TBB) or Phu Cat Airport (UIH) to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City—saves 6 to 7 hours of highway backtracking. Your suitcases stay safely stowed inside your dedicated private vehicle from your coastal departure hotel all the way through your final sightseeing stops to the airport check-in curb.

Sample 3-to-4-Day One-Way Pacing from Da Nang & Hoi An to Tuy Hoa Airport

Thanks to the smooth Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway cutting morning travel time on Day 1, your group can enjoy the South Central coast in three relaxed stages:

• Stage 1 (Da Nang / Hoi An → Sa Huynh → Quy Nhon, approx. 300 – 320 km): Depart at 07:00 AM from your Da Nang or Hoi An hotel via the expressway, pausing for a breezy seaside lunch and rest break at Sa Huynh or Tam Quan. Arrive in Quy Nhon in the afternoon to check in, visit the Cham Twin Towers and Ghenh Rang – Tien Sa, and enjoy jumping-shrimp pancakes for dinner.
• Stage 2 (Ky Co – Eo Gio → Thi Nai Bridge → Overnight in Quy Nhon): Spend a full day exploring Phuong Mai Peninsula, walking the coastal path at Eo Gio, relaxing at Ky Co Beach and Nhon Ly fishing village, and dining on fresh seafood.
• Stage 3 (Quy Nhon → Mang Lang Church → Ganh Da Dia → O Loan Lagoon → Tuy Hoa Airport Drop-Off, approx. 95 – 110 km): Check out at 08:00 AM and load all suitcases into the private vehicle trunk as you head south. Visit Gothic Mang Lang Church, photograph the basalt columns of Ganh Da Dia, enjoy a blood-cockle lunch at O Loan Lagoon, stop by Bai Xep and Nghinh Phong Tower, and transfer directly to Tuy Hoa Airport (TBB) or Phu Cat Airport (UIH).
