Vietnam tour and seaside extension: where to go
We have selected the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam for a wonderful seaside vacation at the end of your tour.
Phu Quoc
The island of Phu Quoc in the Gulf of Thailand hosts some of the most beautiful beaches in Asia. There is for example Bak Khem for snorkeling and fishing, or Bai Truong, famous for its sunsets. More difficult to reach but equally beautiful is also Bai Sap to the south, scarcely visited by tourists. Finally there is Dai Beach with its 5 km of fine golden sand. Phu Quoc is the largest island in Vietnam and is well connected by flight to the capital Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Mui Ne
Driving four hours from Ho Chi Minh City, you reach Mui Ne, another interesting seaside destination in southern Vietnam. Beside the beautiful beaches, Mui Ne also features red sand dunes and picturesque fishing villages. Furthermore, Mui Ne is much appreciated for water sports.
Nha Trang
Here is another town with amazing beaches for total relaxation: Nha Trang. Its best beaches include Tran Phu, a hip location with a tree-lined waterfront and many luxury hotels and restaurants. There are also the less known beaches of Dai Lanh and Hong Chong or the small Dai Buong beach with warm transparent waters, while Doc Let is fascinating for the sight of fishermen selling fish on the beach.
Da Nang
Da Nang has become an important tourist destination over the past few years. The most beautiful beaches are located in Son Tra peninsula, but also Danang Beach deserves to be mentioned, with its luxury hotels on the seafront. Da Nang is also an excellent gateway to the hills of the hinterland and the Marble Mountains.
Con Dao
Con Dao is a beautiful island near Ho Chi Minh City, once home to the political prison which has turned into a museum. Visitors are attracted by the beauty of its nature, wide beaches and coral reef in the sea bottoms.
