Vietnam owns over 3000km of coastline, with some fine ‘year-round-sunshine’ beaches and spectacular lagoons in the south. A beach break is the perfect retreat after (or in between) a challenging adventure, and there is no need anymore to fly your clients elsewhere for a beach extension. In recent years Vietnam has emerged as an attractive beach destination.

Every coastline has its own charm. Nha Trang, the most popular municipal beach, offers all the sun and fun, including snorkeling, diving, surfing and beat trips to nearby islands. Nha Trang has 6 miles of splendid white sandy beach with azure water, backed by green hills and palm trees. The town has little noise or pollution because locals prefer walking or biking to motor-biking. Nha Trang is also known for its sparkling nightlife.

A more peaceful retreat is Mui Ne, a long and beautiful stretch of sand, lined with swaying palm trees. A fine collection of resorts have opened up along the coast, from superb upscale hotels to comfortable boutique-style bungalows. The winds of Mui Ne attract wind nad kite surfers and equipment can be hired on the spot. Eleven km outside Mui Ne liens PHan Thiet, a bustling little fishing port and a typical example of a town that has retained its traditional fishing village culture. Other places of interest include the magnificent sand dunes, Fairy Spring and Takou mountain, with its 49m long Buddha, the largest of Vietnam.

Phu Quoc island is a mountainous and densely forested hideaway, located in the Gulf of Thailand. Ringed with white sandy beaches and transparent waters it’s the perfect place for a well deserved beach break. Phu Quoc also boasts the country’s whitest sand, which contrasts nicely with the turquoise waters. China Beach offers another alluring option for those planning Vietnam beach holidays, and this past hangout for US troops is now transforming itself into a definite best beach in Vietnam consideration. Phu Quoc is also a best place to watch the sunset in Vietnam.
