Yes, it is one of the best beaches on the island for kids. The entry is gradual, the water stays shallow near the shore and there are few waves in high season. The sand is clean and the beach is uncrowded, with lifeguards on the stretches in front of the hotels.
There are a few hotel restaurants and some spots along Bai Dai beach, but prices are resort-level ($8-20 per dish). To save money, cook at home (every apartment has a kitchen) or head to Grand World (15 min) or Duong Dong (30 min).
VinWonders takes a full day, the Safari about half a day, and Bai Dai beach is great every day. You could visit Grand World in the evening 2-3 times. For a week-long family holiday it is ideal, plus you can add island-hopping tours.
For 1-2 weeks with children it is ideal. For the long term (1+ month) it can feel a bit quiet and pricey, since there are few local restaurants and shops. Families planning an extended stay may prefer Grand World or Duong Dong.
