Quy Nhon in October: the wettest month of the year

Last updated: October 2026 · By Jack Ng

Quick answer: October is the worst month for a beach trip to Quy Nhon. It gets about 520 mm of rain over 21 days, the sea is rough, island boats are often cancelled and it’s peak typhoon season for this coast. If you have flexible dates, go to Phu Quoc or Mui Ne instead; if you’re passing through, stick to the city, the Cham towers and the food.

25–30°C, 521 mm of rain, about 21 rainy days.

Sea and boat trips

Rough. Ky Co, Hon Kho and Cu Lao Xanh trips are often cancelled, and swimming at the open beaches is risky when red flags are up.

What to do in Quy Nhon in October

1. Thap Doi in town (20,000 VND) between showers.
2. Banh It towers on a dry afternoon.
3. Quang Trung Museum in Tay Son for a rainy day (50,000 VND).
4. Eat: bún chả cá, bánh hỏi cháo lòng and seafood. Prices are low and restaurants are quiet.

Crowds, prices and budget

Low season, so this is the cheapest time of year: resorts like Avani are at their lowest rates (about $120 a night in October 2026), and city hotels discount.

Storm safety

Follow the Vietnam National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting or your hotel for typhoon warnings. If a storm is forecast, don’t plan travel on the coastal roads or boats that day, and keep a day of slack in your itinerary.

What to pack

proper rain jacket, quick-dry clothes, a power bank (outages happen in storms).
