For Russian tourists When holidaying in Vietnam, beach holidays come first. Taking this into account, package tours to resorts are compiled. Tours without seaside holidays in this country are extremely rare.
On the map (below on this page) blue stars indicate the main beaches or their chains. After clicking on the star, you will be taken to a page with a description of the beach. Not all beaches are shown on the map due to the fact that there are so many of them.

Tran Phu city beach and a line of hotels in Nha Trang. This is perhaps the most famous beach in Vietnam.

In Vietnamese, the word "beach" is written bãi, pronounced "bai". This word can be found at the beginning of the names of many Vietnamese beaches. Long Beach - bãi dài (pronounced like a cross between "bai zay" and "bai dai").

The beaches in Vietnam are sandy, the sand is white and yellow-brown. There are only a few pebbly beaches along the entire coast. One of them is located in Tuy Phong County, Binh Thuan Province and is interesting because the pebbles on it are multi-colored: blue, gray, yellow, white and purple. Other part pebble beaches is located on the small islands of Kien Giang Province.
The descent into the water is, in most cases, gentle or moderately steep. On a flat slope, at low tide the water's edge moves towards the sea, sometimes significantly. But there are very few of them.

Secluded Dailan Beach 80 km north of Nha Trang.

Most of the beaches are located on the mainland coast. Of the islands, the most popular are on the island of Phu Quoc. The popularity of beach holidays in the Con Dao archipelago is gradually increasing.
The beaches on Cat Ba and Tuan Chau in Halong Bay are slightly worse in their characteristics.
Beaches on smaller islands are often even better than those on the mainland and large islands, but they have no infrastructure for recreation or it is minimally present.

The most famous beaches in the world in Vietnam are: in the south - the beaches of Nha Trang and Bai Zai on the island of Phu Quoc, in the central part of the country - “Chinese Beach”, which refers to the beaches of Da Nang and Cua Dai (pronounced roughly like “cua hai” in Vietnamese) near the town Hoi An in Central Vietnam.
The most north beach Vietnam is Cha Co, the southernmost is Khai Long.

Based on the totality of natural characteristics, it is possible best choice are the beaches in Shongkau. Here is the longest period of comfortable rest, clean water and sand. But they are not yet suitable for package tours - the infrastructure is poorly developed. There are only two new hotels in the entire area and they are both expensive: one is 4-star and one is 5-star. For tourists expecting more budget holiday I'll have to rent an apartment.

Features by area

The beaches of northern Vietnam are divided into two parts by the Red River Delta.
The first is north of the Red River delta. They are found on some of the islands in Ha Long Bay, as well as on the mainland to the Chinese border. Comfortable sea water temperatures last from the end of March until the end of October. Beach holidays here in summer are hampered by high temperatures and rain.
The second is south of the Red River delta. They are on the mainland. Comfortable sea water temperatures last from the end of March until the end of November. The climate is slightly different from the terrain of the first group of beaches. The summer months are less rainy, but September is the opposite.

In central Vietnam, the dry period lasts from March to August. Comfortable sea water temperatures last from early March to early December. However, in October-November it rains heavily and therefore a normal beach holiday in these two months is possible only during breaks between typhoons and floods. In December-February the water temperature is 22-23 °C.

The beaches of central Vietnam have their advantages. These include breezes, high salinity of water, and ample opportunities for water sports.

In southern Vietnam, the water temperature rarely drops below 25 °C, and only rain can interfere with a beach holiday. The rainiest months are June, July and September, but the intensity of precipitation cannot be compared with the autumn in average Vietnam.

Seaside resorts and beaches in Vietnam first developed near large cities. In the 20th century, this was done by the French colonial administration, then by the US Army for the recreation of its military personnel. Therefore, beaches were not always located in the most suitable climate areas. Currently, the beaches of the far south have the greatest development prospects, where the air and water temperature almost never drops below 25 C, typhoons and simple storms occur less frequently than in the north, and the humid climate is not as pronounced as in other parts of the country. This is the island of Phu Quoc, which has reached an acceptable level, and the island of Con Dao, which is approaching it, where hotels are being built and where the number of flights from Ho Chi Minh City has increased.

Transport and infrastructure

Along the coast, especially in South Vietnam, there are many beautiful sandy beaches, in which the infrastructure and entertainment industry is not developed or is poorly developed. However, on many of these beaches there are small hotels and bungalows. Sometimes they are owned by foreigners. A holiday on such beaches will cost 2-3 times less than in well-known resorts. Moreover, they are located several tens to hundreds of meters from the main highway No. 1 or from the railway.
Officially issued sea ​​beaches there are no nudes (for nudists) or any other special type in Vietnam.

What the beaches, where there are restaurants and cafes, have in common is an abundance of local seafood. Often there is some kind of fishing village nearby, which supplies restaurants with fresh fish, crabs, and shellfish every day.

The advantage of Vietnam is the topography of its territory. In most cases, mountains and jungles begin relatively close to the sea coast. Therefore, your vacation on the beaches can be diversified with a 2-3-day trip to nature reserves to see real jungles, wild and domestic elephants, and other animals. However, as a result of various human activities, there are fewer and fewer wild animals. At the same time, there is another trend - the construction of places for keeping wild animals in tourist destinations.

Transport accessibility to most beaches, including those that are little developed, is good. This is facilitated by the fact that the main highway and Railway pass along the sea coast.

The time has come for your long-awaited vacation and your choice has fallen on sunny Vietnam?
Perfect solution! After all, a holiday in Vietnam is not only exotic, but also beautiful beaches. Surely, you are concerned about the question “What are the best beaches in Vietnam”? This article will discuss the TOP 10 most beautiful and best beaches in Vietnam.

Third most popular resort- This is the island of Phu Quoc. Recently Fr. Phu Quoc belongs to the territory of Vietnam, but disputes and disagreements still arise between Vietnam and Cambodia over this territory. The entire coast of the island is covered with the finest white sand, and the turquoise-tinged sea attracts all beach lovers. Along the entire coast there are palm trees, which give this beach an even greater resemblance to the same “bounty” beach from the advertisement. The island has everything for the perfect beach holiday in Vietnam.

8 - 6th place - Beaches about. Phu Quoc: Long Beach; Bai Wong Beach; Bai Sao. There are a lot of beaches on the island of Phu Quoc, let's name a few of them, so the third place on the list is occupied by Long Beach, located on the western side of Phu Quoc. This is the main beach where there are most of hotels. The best beaches on Phu Quoc do not belong to hotels, so you can swim wherever you like. The fourth place is occupied by the beach of the island - Bai Wong Beach, located in the west of the island. You can get there by bike. The coastline is very beautiful and worth a visit if you are in Fukuoka. 5th place- Bai Sao - it is located in the east of Fukuoka. However, it is difficult to get to, so it is best to take a taxi. This is a secluded place and there are practically no restaurants there.

5th place - Da Nang beach The sixth best beach among other beaches in Vietnam is Da Nang. This beach is located in the resort of Danang. If the purpose of visiting Vietnam is to see, first of all, beauty local beaches, then the Danang resort is perfect. However, you need to book a hotel well in advance, as there are very few of them. The prices here will pleasantly please our wallets, and therefore there may not be any available rooms at the right time. To avoid an unpleasant surprise, it is better to think about your vacation several months in advance. If you don’t have anything planned besides a beach holiday, then Da Nang can be an ideal place for a vacation.

4th place - Vung Tau beach The seventh position in the list of the best beaches among other beaches in Vietnam is the Vung Tau coast. This coast is often called “elite”, since the elite of society used to live here.

Cape Vang Tau is located near Ho Chi Minh City. In addition to Vang Tau Beach, you can visit: Mulberry; Front; Back beaches.

3rd place - Beaches about.

Those who are tired of life in the metropolis should definitely spend their vacation on this beach in the country, the atmosphere of which will allow you to completely disconnect from unresolved problems and be left alone with yourself.

2nd place - Lang Co Beach The ninth among all the best beaches in Vietnam is Lang Co Beach, located in the resort town of Hue. Here, in addition to the beach, there are other entertainments - cafes and bars, entertainment venues and interesting sights, which will be an important advantage for those who are not used to lying on the coast all day long. It is best to relax on Lang Co with children, as there are not high waves here, which meets the safety conditions for children’s swimming. And the presence of entertainment facilities within walking distance will be a pleasant bonus for the rest of the young category of tourists.

1st place - Ha Long Beach Tenth on the list, but one of the most beautiful among the best beaches in Vietnam is Ha Long Beach. Ha Long is truly a picture that you see on the tourist brochures of “heavenly” places. When you first see this place, it seems like a dream.

Still wondering? The answer is obvious - beaches and all the nature that surrounds them.

Let your holiday on the best beaches of Vietnam be unforgettable!

A clean, cozy, uncrowded beach and a warm, pleasant sea are such important things for every tourist and every traveler. Let's figure out which Vietnamese beaches are worthy of attention?

Useful information about Vietnam

About the beaches of Vietnam

We will compare the beaches of 4 Vietnamese resorts: Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Hoi An and Mui Ne. We lived in Nha Trang and Hoi An for many months; we spent only a few days in Phu Quoc and Mui Ne. Therefore, most full information We give, of course, only for the first two resorts. Please, if you have anything to say, add it in the comments to this post.

Hoi An City

A small town with great history. A very beautiful center, a sea of ​​small temples and museums. This city is almost unknown to our tourists, and I was even once scolded for telling everyone about this wonderful city (quote: “Russian tourists will come and ruin everything, it’s better if they stay in Mui Ne”). I don’t know why Russian tourists have such dislike for Russian tourists, but I continue to praise Hoi An and its magnificent beach.

Beach of Hoi An city

The best time to visit, in our opinion: from May (maybe April) to August.

Pros of the Vietnamese beach in Hoi An

1. long coastline, gentle entrance, pleasant sand, moderately clear water (not perfectly clear, don’t forget that this is the South China Sea, perfect transparency is simply impossible here);
2. clean and uncrowded.

Minuses

1. It is located far from the city center (where most hotels are located), so you need to either rent a bike (drive 10 minutes) or take a taxi or walk, exploring the city at the same time.

The town of Hoi An is very nice, we didn’t live in the city itself, but almost in the rice fields :)) we rented a room from the Vietnamese:

Therefore, we went to the city itself once or twice a week, but still in 3 months we managed to see all the coolest places, which we will write about a little later.

City map

Nha Trang city

When we were in Nha Trang: August - October '13, December '13, January - March '14, July - December '14.

The best time to visit, in our opinion: from February/March to September.

This city, like Mui Ne, is extremely popular among our compatriots. Russian signs, Russian menus - sometimes it seemed that you were not in Vietnam, but in Sochi. The city has both pros and cons, but, as it seemed to us, there are much more advantages. We fell in love with Nha Trang with all our hearts for its beautiful city center, very cheap food and accommodation (do not forget that we live not as tourists, but as local residents), for the friendly staff of any place we turn to, for a large number of most interesting places, and most importantly, for a good beach.

pros

1. the city beach is moderately clean, cozy, and not very crowded during the day;
2. the entrance is gentle, there are no marine life, stones or large shells;
3. the sand is pleasant, not contaminated with small pebbles, leaves or grass;
4. thanks to the long and wide coastline tourists are evenly distributed along the beach without interfering with each other;
5. In addition to the city beach, there are several more beaches near the city and on the islands (all information on them is in a separate post, the link is given above).

This is the city beach:

This is Zoklet beach (located a few km from the city):

Minuses

1. Perfect cleanliness is not about Nha Trang. Setting yourself up for a European-level resort means ruining your vacation. This is Vietnam, the local population has a unique attitude towards cleanliness, so if the shore is not cleaned on time, you will be unhappy. Look big photo, fortunately there are a lot of them on our blog and on the Internet in general. Negative reviews mainly come from those who lived on Zoklet beach and studied that territory well: the beach itself is very cool, clean and cozy, but if you move a little away from it, there is already a trash can there. Conclusion: don’t leave and you will be happy :)
2. In the evenings, the city beach becomes crowded: Vietnamese people have picnics, relax and swim.

We have seen many beaches in Southeast Asia and if you are interested in our opinion, we highly recommend lying on the beaches of Nha Trang, but strictly from March to September. Other months it's not so cool.

Very detailed information about all the beaches of Nha Trang

Nha Trang Map

Phu Quoc Island

When we were on the island: November`13

The best time to visit, in our opinion: never)) or in 2-3 years, when everything is completed there.

Visiting Phu Quoc Island was perhaps our biggest mistake during our travels. In short, the island can be described as follows: an actively developing resort, which now consists mainly of construction sites and trash cans. It’s worth going there only when there is at least one large store, at least one good restaurant, at least one completed road and at least 10 times less garbage. At the end of 2013 this was not the case. The prices are greatly inflated, the level of service is greatly reduced. However, you may be interested in the fact that there are many beautiful places with untouched nature. Now only the coastal areas of the island are developed, so if you go inland, you will see forests and fields, there are almost no people there. Eat state reserve Phu Quoc National Park, which is highly praised. We talked in detail about the island itself here:

It seemed to us that the only advantage of Phu Quoc Island is Long Beach.

Pros of the Vietnamese beach on Phu Quoc island

1. it is long (albeit quite narrow), the bank is flat;
2. the sand is very soft, I just wanted to bury myself in it and forget myself;
3. crowded, but in moderation, no one bothers anyone;
4. the shore is clean, it is clear that it is taken care of and cleaned frequently;
5. well-groomed houses, lawns, flowers and bushes pleasantly complement the rest; if you wanted to sunbathe - sunbathe, if you wanted to relax in the shade - hide under a palm tree on the lawn.

Minuses

1. concrete barriers designed to prevent sand from being washed away. They are apparently very necessary, but it is very easy to break your leg on them (they are not in the pictures below, see details);
2. There is no feeling of freedom and space at all, a narrow strip of good sand is not something worth traveling all the way from Russia for.

When we expressed our negative opinion about the island on Facebook, we received in response 2 photos from the beach of the Canary 3 * hotel (the girl vacationed on Phu Quoc island in 2012 and was very pleased with it):

The sewer pipe and the sticks sticking out of the water also delighted the girl:

Well, to each his own.

Mui Ne

When we were in: January`14

Best time to visit: November to April.

Tourist area in southern Vietnam. It is called a kitesurfer's paradise. And it's also very popular place rest of our compatriots, therefore, like in Nha Trang, there are many Russian signs and every cafe has a menu in Russian. Prices are inflated only for housing, but not for food in cafes. The food is very tasty and filling. Mui Ne is one street. Seriously. Just one long street.

We were only in Mui Ne for a few days and were not happy with it.

After this article, someone agreed with our opinion about bad beaches, someone thought that our photos were unrealistic (they even expressed the opinion that the chickens were painted on :)) and talked about their have a great holiday. We asked acquaintances and friends, searched for information on the Internet and made a short excursion with specific facts and figures. Only photos of beaches will be shown here; only like/dislike will be said about hotels. To make it easier to navigate, we now have a map where expensive hotels are marked in green, hotels from $50 in yellow, and hotels from $12 in red.

Expensive hotels

Only one person (who scolded me at first, but later turned out to be a very good conversationalist and is now also our subscriber) spoke about his experience of staying in an expensive hotel. Most other people vacationed in Mui Ne on a budget.

Romana Resort & Spa

Hotel: liked it

Cost: $3,760 for several days. Private house with private pool and breakfast.

Beach: liked it

Time of visit: spring 2014

Quote: “There is always security on the beach and they strictly monitor the safety of guests. The shore is constantly cleaned throughout the day, especially during rough waves. We had a great time Honeymoon V the most beautiful hotel with a great setting and excellent service. And, by the way, about the fact that all beaches are similar ( comment on our photos) - a deep lie! We walked around so many of them, everything was clean and beautiful, we didn’t come across any unkempt ones.”

Hotels from $50 per night.

1. Haiau Resort

Hotel: didn't like it

Cost: unknown, but current prices are: $50 per day.

Beach: didn't like it

Time of visit: December 2013 - January 2014

Quote: “When choosing a hotel, no one could definitely advise anything, and nothing was said on the forums. Among the advantages: the hotel was created for surfers, separate houses (rooms), prices in the area for food and things are much lower than in the center, New Year's concert. Disadvantages: the rooms are very old, not cleaned - only towels are changed, far from resort area, the coastline is very dirty (everything is covered in shells, jellyfish, they clean the fish right there, the smell is appropriate).”

3. Mui Ne Central Beach

Information only on the beach.

Time of visit: December 2013

Quote: “If you are going to Mui Ne with a child, and even during kite season, keep in mind that you will mostly be swimming in the pool. There is another option - to rent a hotel not in the center of the Russian beach, but not far from the Red Dunes in Mui Ne. There are several luxury hotels there. The waves there are noticeably smaller and the sea is cleaner. You can already swim there with your child.” Another quote: “It was practically impossible to swim on the central beach. To be honest, even in calm weather there was no desire to land and rest. There is quite a lot of garbage there, the sea is muddy and dirty.”

Hotels from $12 per night

1. Rang Dong Resort

Hotel: didn't like it

Cost: $12 and $16 per night.

Beach: didn't like it

Time of visit: January 2014

This is our hotel and our beach, we wrote more about them in the post about Mui Ne. Here are just a couple of photos.

Roosters and hens grazed on our beach.
Later we were assured that this could not happen in Mui Ne. They are probably right, we were the only ones with chickens; there were ducks at other points. Very nice.

Cost: $16 per day.

Beach: liked it

Time of visit: March 2014

“Behind the gate there was the sea. It’s difficult to call this place a beach; there were round fishing boats and nets drying there. Moving a little further away you could swim. And in the evenings by the sea it was simple gorgeous - palm trees, stars, the sound of waves and - no one nearby. It’s a miracle, what a place!”

3. Sunrise Village

Hotel: liked it

Cost: $18 per day.

Beach: didn't like it

Time of visit: May 2013

“We will also think about the location of the future hotel. It seems like our place was not so great. But let’s say almost right behind our hotel there was a shore paved with concrete. Some people may like it, but others may not.”

And a few more photos of Mui Ne.

The beaches of Vietnam are heavenly corners of the South China Sea coast. For more than 20 years they have been famous as wonderful places for taking sea and air baths.

100% of Vietnam's beaches are covered with white or yellow-brown sand. There are only a few pebble rookeries in the country. One of them (in Binh Thuan province) is famous for the fact that the stones on it are of different colors: white, purple, blue, yellow.

In the fishing villages and ports of Vietnam you can find concrete piers with ramps for fishing boats, but even such structures are rare. The beaches of Vietnam are surrounded by lush tropical vegetation: palm trees, bread and fig trees, and fern thickets.

The descent into the water at most rookeries in the country is gentle or moderately steep. The sand is washed onto it by the sea surf. During low tides, the ocean on some beaches recedes 100 meters or more. You need to swim in such corners of the shore carefully and only in the first half of the day, so as not to fall into the oncoming waters and not be left without watercraft on the open sea.

The only drawback of Vietnam's beaches– absence of rescuers in 50-60% of them. This is due to objective reasons. The total length of the country's coastline is more than 3,200 km, and it is simply impossible to station special services personnel everywhere, to equip them with patrol posts and places for basing watercraft everywhere. But on major resorts there are no problems with safety, and every tourist can be calm: rescue and first aid are carried out very quickly and without unnecessary delays.

Each beach in Vietnam has its own distinctive features and positive aspects. In different places in different time The shores are best suited for various types of recreation. In winter, the beaches of the southern part of Vietnam are especially good. Off the coast of these places, light winds and small waves create ideal conditions for regular, kite and wind surfing, yachting and other water sports.

Beaches that are located on small islands such as Phu Quoc, on the contrary, are characterized by calm sea waters and a complete absence of strong air currents.
If we compare the ratio of comfort, the number of sunny days and the beauty of the coastline, the best beaches in Ve Tam are the beaches of Nha Trang, Phan Thiet and Da Nang.

Nha Trang

Nha Trang– the beach capital of Vietnam. The shores in this city and its surroundings are places that seem to have come straight out of pictures of advertising brochures. Well-groomed, beautiful, with white sand and clear water, they wordlessly encourage tourists to relax at the resort as much and as often as possible.

Beaches are scattered along the entire coast of Nha Trang and nearby villages. Their total length is about 30 km. The width in different places varies from 20 to 50 meters. The surface is sandy everywhere, with a small number of shells.
