We will have three days in Quy Nhon and I am looking at Ky Co beach as a day trip. The photos look stunning, clear water and a quiet cove, but I have also read that the road there is rough and the trip takes most of the day.
Is Ky Co really that much better than the main city beach for swimming and relaxing, or is it mainly a photo stop? I am happy to travel for a great beach, but not for a crowded viewpoint with a long queue.
Also, how did you get there, by car, by motorbike, or by a local tour? And is there shade and simple food at the beach, or should we bring everything ourselves?

We did the day trip and the road is bumpy, but the beach was worth it for us. The sand is white and the water was clear, much nicer than the city beach. Rent a car with a driver, do not try it on a scooter with the road the way it is.

Thanks, a car with a driver sounds like the right call. What time did you head back, and was the road just as slow in the afternoon?

We headed back around 4 in the afternoon and the road was just as slow, about 45 minutes of bumps each way. It was worth it though, the water at Ky Co in the late afternoon light was the best part of the day.

Thanks, we will plan for a 4pm return then. Did you stop anywhere on the way back, or is it straight to the city?

We did not stop anywhere on the way back, it was straight to the city. There is a viewpoint near the top of the hill if you ask the driver, but we were happy to just get back for dinner. The road is slow but the beach is worth it.
