My Khe Beach in Da Nang is absent from this year's list of Asia's most beautiful beaches as voted by Tripadvisor readers, after ranking sixth last year.

No Vietnamese beaches made the list, which was dominated by representatives in Thailand and Indonesia.

Banana Beach in Thailand's Phuket topped the list, followed by Kelingking Beach in Indonesia.

The 2025 Travelers' Choice Awards are based on the quality and quantity of traveler reviews submitted globally on Tripadvisor between Oct. 1, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2024. The awards recognize top-rated destinations that have captivated travelers worldwide.

According to Tripadvisor, this year's winning beaches "promise a dreamy escape."

The 900-meter-long My Khe Beach, stretching between Son Tra Peninsula and the Marble Mountains, is known for its smooth white sand and warm waters year-round. It also offers various adventure sports activities.

Last year, British newspaper The Daily Telegraph included My Khe in its list of the 50 best beaches in the world.

However, the beach has recently suffered severe erosion, with powerful waves collapsing embankments, forcing some business owners to close their seaside eateries. Authorities have placed warning signs prohibiting swimming in areas affected by landslides along the coast.

To curb the erosion, Da Nang authorities have deployed sandbags in an effort to protect My Khe and sustain tourism activities in the area.
