Da Nang Bay (Vietnamese: Vịnh Đà Nẵng), formerly known as Tourane Bay, is a bay of the South China Sea along the coast of Da Nang, Vietnam. The bay is entered between the Sơn Trà Peninsula and the Hải Vân Mountain, 4 miles Northwest.[1][2]
The bay has an area of 116 square kilometres (45 sq mi), a coastline of 46 kilometres (29 mi)[3] and adequate depths of 8–10 metres (26–33 ft).[4] It offers good shelter at all seasons for vessels of any size.[5] The bottom of the bay is mostly sandy, while some areas have corals and rocks. A layer of mud is immediately above this sandy bottom, making up 80% of the bay's floor.[4]
The port of Da Nang is located in the bay at the mouth of the Hàn River.[2]
