From Hoi An’s beaches, just need to follow the coastal road (Lac Long Quan St or Au Co St) and then find the shortest access to Vo Chi Cong St. After Cua Dai bridge spanning Thu Bon river, go straight for about 8 kilometers and the park is to the left hand side. It’s big, so very easy to recognize.

From Hoi An’s Old town and the surroundings, Tran Nhan Tong St is most convenient. At the traffic light (when it encounters Vo Chi Cong St), turn right and cross the bridge.

If stay in Da Nang, the coastal road is still the best choice and most simple to navigate.

In the crossroad between the coastal road and Vo Chi Cong St (traffic light near Boutique Hoi An Resort), remember to turn right and follow that boulevard to see the park. If forget and keep riding straight, the distance will be longer.
