Vibrant seaside seafood market

Every early morning, Man Thai Beach in the central coastal city of Danang bustles with activity as ships and bamboo basket boats come and go, transporting seafood to the shore.

Local residents and early-rising tourists can be seen strolling along the beach, savoring the breathtaking sunrise while joining fishermen in pulling in their nets. For them, the excitement peaks when they purchase fresh seafood right on the sandy shores.

Man Thai Beach is often referred to as the “squatting market” because the local fishermen typically squat or set up small chairs to display and sell their catches. From fish to shrimp, and even snails, a wide variety of seafood is available.

The market typically winds down as the sun climbs higher into the sky. At that point, the fishermen gather their bounties of seafood into large baskets and head to the city’s markets to sell their catches.
