The Son Tra Peninsula and Beaches Management Board in the central city of Danang are seeking local authority approval to tighten control over beach sports after two people went missing while kayaking off the peninsula.
On December 20 while Danang faced strong wind due to being affected by the Storm Rai, a group of three people comprising two local residents and a female visitor, hired kayaks to go to a beach in Son Tra.
Because of the rough sea, their boats capsized. As a result, the female visitor has been rescued after she had drifted to the Cu Lam Cham area a day later, while the remaining two are still missing.
According to the management board of Son Tra Peninsula and Beaches, Danang is home to around 10 kayaking clubs, however, the city has not yet issued specific regulations on their operation, including the lease of kayaks or adventure sports activities on rivers or beaches.
