Vietnam's first international marina — the city's free slice of glamour
Vietnam's first international-standard marina
Hundreds of yachts in one frame — glamour for free
Cafés facing the pontoons, best in the late afternoon light
Come between 4:30 and 6:30pm: golden light on the hulls, then the marina lighting up — two of the best shots in a single visit; at weekends you can ask at the desk about sunset cruises.
Ana Marina is the first marina in Vietnam built to international standard — 89 hectares of water and pontoons designed by the well-known firm Camper & Nicholsons, with berths for more than 200 yachts. Rows of white motor boats and sailing yachts moored against the blue of the bay give you a Mediterranean scene that costs nothing at all to walk into.
There is a promenade along the pontoons, and cafés and restaurants looking straight out at the moored fleet — best in the late afternoon when the light softens and the boats light up. For photographers this is the smartest-looking spot in Nha Trang that charges no admission, and it is also where many of the bay cruises depart.
Come to Nha Trang without eating gỏi cá mai and the trip is not complete
One family, one recipe, nearly 50 years. Fish landed that morning, rolled in rice paper and dipped in a secret fish sauce — the same taste since 1977.
