Explore Seaside Vibe’s Top 5!

Seaside adventures are spectacular in Vietnam! The best spots are in the South, although you shouldn’t miss beautiful Halong Bay when you visit Hanoi in the North. Our Top 5 seaside experiences are all in the South. Here are the ‘top five’ seaside attractions that attract many travelers to this Southeast Asian paradise:

• 1) Nha Trang is a pretty city with the most beautiful urban beach we’ve ever seen. Scuba diving and great seafood make this a ‘must do.’ Don’t forget to visit the Yersin Museum, a municipal jewel, while you’re there.
• 2) Mui Ne beach boasts bungalows, a wonderful fishing culture (get there when the catch comes in for great photos), and exceptional walks along the colorful dunes.
• 3) The magnificent Cham ruins at Po Klong Garai, near the seaside town of Phan Rang, are not to be missed, and are some of the best in Vietnam.
• 4) For years, Vung Tao was the seaside spot of choice for Saigon residents wanting to beat the heat. Although a bit faded, the cafes overlooking the sea are lovely, and it’s a easy hydrofoil trip from Saigon.
• 5) Phu Quoc island has many of Vietnam’s nicest beaches, and this forested gem makes a nice getaway from the hubbub of Saigon.
