Son Tra Ward's police said on November 10 that prolonged intense rain had damaged the road leading to Bai Cat Vang Beach on Son Tra Peninsula, leaving sections cracked and sunken and posing risks to motorists and pedestrians.
Following the incident, local police worked with the public service centre, the Son Tra Peninsula and Danang Tourist Beaches Management Board and local militia to inspect the affected area.
Authorities blocked access with earth and sand, installed barriers and reflective tape, and erected warning signs to prevent people and vehicles from entering the dangerous section.
Police urged residents and tourists to stay away from the cordoned-off road and avoid steep mountain routes, streams and areas prone to landslides or subsidence during prolonged heavy rain.
The Son Tra Peninsula and Danang Tourist Beaches Management Board also announced the suspension of all sightseeing activities on the peninsula from 3.30pm on November 10, with no reopening date confirmed.
The decision followed days of heavy to very heavy rain across Danang, increasing the risk of landslides and flash floods.
The management board had previously advised visitors to adjust their travel plans and postpone sightseeing, trekking and hiking during heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Tourists were warned against using steep or slippery roads, approaching streams or fast-flowing water, or entering areas at risk of landslides and falling trees.
Motorists were also advised to reduce speed, maintain safe distances and avoid stopping or parking in areas with poor visibility, beneath large trees or near unstable slopes.
Residents and visitors were advised to monitor weather forecasts, follow official safety instructions and avoid restricted or hazardous areas until conditions improve.
