According to the Management Board of Son Tra Peninsula and beaches of Da Nang, the incident occurred at Tan Tra Beach on April 27.
A lifeguard spotted a group of five Indian visitors walking along the shore, before two men entered the sea beyond the buoyed safety area and were carried offshore by strong waves. He immediately swam out with a flotation device, reached the exhausted and panicked tourists, and brought them safely back to shore.
The two were later stabilised and advised to rest before returning to their hotel.
