Front Beach and the bay
Bãi Trước is pleasant for an evening walk, with city streets, cafés and transport points nearby. It works well for a short stay that mixes coastal scenery with city routines. Treat the bayfront primarily as a promenade rather than assuming it offers the same swimming experience as the open beach.
Back Beach and the eastern shore
Bãi Sau runs along the open coast and is the obvious base for morning beach time. There is plenty of accommodation, but conditions vary with wind, waves and weekend crowds. Check where you can actually enter the beach and the walking route from your room.
Nghinh Phong and the southern tip
The southern end offers sea views in different directions and access to scenic walks. Some accommodation sits on steep streets or busy roads. Check the climb to the property and access to food shops; a viewpoint nearby does not automatically make daily life easy.
Bai Dau and the northern shore
Toward Bãi Dâu the shoreline feels more secluded than the main beach strip. It suits a slower stay, but cafés and transport may be sparse around a particular address. For a longer stay, visit in the evening and test the trip to groceries and work.
Before choosing a beach base
- Check water conditions and official beach notices before swimming.
- Compare the area on weekdays and weekends; visitor numbers change.
- Check the walking distance to a public beach entrance. Distance to the shoreline alone can be misleading.
