Nha Trang Beach
Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa
Nowhere sums up Nha Trang’s coastal allure like Nha Trang Beach, a golden stretch home to swaying palm trees and turquoise waters. Depending on the vibe you’re after, the beach offers lively bars or uninterrupted swathes of sand; its also backed by a promenade that comes to life at night.
The basics
Regardless of their theme, nearly all Nha Trang tours pass or stop at Nha Trang Beach at some point. Island-hopping tours give you a chance to go fishing or snorkeling among the corals and colorful fish just off the shore. Street food excursions reveal local eateries that surround the beach, while countryside tours tend to depart from the beach and reveal local life on the banks of the river. The beach also serves as the gateway to Mun Island, renowned for its marine life.
