Vietnam’s Hoi An faces imminent risk of losing beach to coastal erosion: Cua Dai Beach, which is a gem of Hoi An City’s tourist industry and a major draw to international tourists, is being wiped out by sea waves at an alarming rate. Located in Quang Nam Province, Hoi An City includes the famous Hoi An Ancient Town that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. The beach has seen relentless, devastating coastal erosion since October last year, with the damage spiraling out of control recently.
