China Beach

by Blatherwick

This stretch of white sand beach was once the recreation base for many American troops during the Vietnam War. This then was the name on which the TV series was based. The whole stretch of ocean front is known as China Beach and that name is a fairly recent creation. What you see in the picture is really named Non Nuoc Beach. Here you will find many people selling China Beach souvenirs. However, many people claim the "real" China Beach of wartime fame is My Khe Beach which is 6 km from Central Danang by road.

Take note that the mountain that I am taking this photo from of Non Nuoc Beach was once the home of a VC hospital during the war.
