Seven kilometres of yellow sand along the city — the heart of Nha Trang
One of Vietnam's finest bays, and it is right in the centre
Safe swimming, with lifeguard sections and freshwater showers
A seafront park for walking, cycling and pavement coffee
Swim before 9am or after 4pm to avoid the worst of the sun; use the paid lockers along the beach so you can leave your things safely.
The city beach runs the full seven kilometres of Trần Phú boulevard, and it is the reason Nha Trang gets called the pearl of the East Sea. Fine yellow sand, clear blue water, and Hòn Tre and Hòn Mun straight ahead — swim, walk, or simply sit in the seafront park and watch the city go by.
Early morning the whole town comes down to exercise and swim, which is as local as it gets. Late afternoon the stretch by Yersin park and 2/4 Square is busiest — handy for the food stalls, and for waiting out the last of the light over the bay.
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.
