Da Nhay (jumping rock) is a beautiful beach, 25 km north of Dong Hoi City in Quang Binh Province. It is one of the most important sites in Quang Binh along with Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, the World Natural Heritage site.
In Vietnamese, Da Nha means "the rocks that jump". It refers to the topographical feature of this beach which sees thousands rocks reaching the sea, surrounding small fine sand beaches suitable for seabathing.
This beach is a clean, white-sand beach with rocky mountains, stone pillars in various sizes and numerous particularly interesting shapes, such as toads, lying buffalo, kneeling tigers, and prostrating elephants.
Da Nhay Beach has the Toad Well, a natural well covered with a large rock in avtoad shape. Water in the well is very clean and warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The fishermen take the water as an offering in the temple to Grace Nam Hai near the Toad Well.
With the spectacular scenery of Da Nhay, Thieu Tri King during his official visits to the north in 1842 stopped here to look and to have a memorial stele erected.
