If you're a devoted beach lover, there's no reason why the 8 beautiful coastal cities introduced by Mytour below should not be on your travel itinerary this summer.
A must-visit list of 8 enchanting coastal cities in Vietnam
Hai Phong
Known as the largest seaport city in the North, Hai Phong is renowned for its picturesque 125km coastline and numerous idyllic islands surrounding the city.
The sea, coastline, and archipelagos create a unique natural landscape for the city of flamboyant flowers. This advantage has propelled Hai Phong's tourism sector, offering enchanting scenes of pristine beaches such as Cat Ba, Do Son, Hon Dau, Bach Long Vi, and more. Particularly, Cat Ba is the largest island in the Ha Long Bay area, designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, boasting azure waters, white sands, golden sunshine, and crystal-clear seas, creating a heavenly panorama that leaves visitors reluctant to depart.
Da Nang
When mentioning Da Nang, travelers can immediately envision a stunning city along the Han River, nestled on the East Sea coast with unparalleled charm that sets it apart from other coastal cities…
Nature has bestowed Da Nang the privilege of being situated amidst three world cultural heritages: the ancient capital Hue, the ancient town of Hoi An, and the sacred site of My Son. This strategic location underscores Da Nang's role as a welcoming, serving, and transit hub for visitors. Beyond being the focal point of three world heritages, Da Nang also boasts many breathtaking landmarks that visitors can hardly forget after exploring the city.
Quy Nhon
Quy Nhon is the economic, political, and cultural center of Binh Dinh province. The city features a crescent-shaped, stunning coastline with crystal-clear waters and a pristine ambiance. Many tourists, upon visiting the exquisite beaches, are left in awe, as there are few places with such majestic and impressive seas. The famous Hoang Hau Beach, with its blue sea and white sand, winding coastal road, and countless large round stones on the shore, is a must-visit. Visitors can also explore Genh Rang with its coastal cliffs close to the sea.
Tuy Hoa
Tuy Hoa is a coastal city in Phu Yen province, situated in the South Central region, known as the rice granary of Central Vietnam. Carrying the tranquil beauty and images of pristine turquoise beaches, Tuy Hoa is often whispered among tourists as one of the seaside paradises for effective self-refreshing. Besides the image of gently lapping waves with foamy white crests, Tuy Hoa also boasts numerous scenic spots awaiting the footsteps of adventurous travelers, such as Vung Ro Bay, Da Dia Reef, Mon Beach, Dai Lanh Lighthouse, and more.
Nha Trang
It's no surprise that Nha Trang – the far Eastern pearl, is one of the most beautiful coastal cities in Vietnam. Nha Trang captivates travelers with its stretches of fine white sandy beaches and stunning offshore islands like Binh Ba and Binh Hung.
Like other coastal cities, Nha Trang boasts a plethora of beautiful tourist beaches, such as Dai Lanh Beach, Son Dung Beach, Doc Let Beach, Tru Beach, Hon Tam, Bai Dai (Van Phong), Hon Chong, and more. Additionally, the Vinpearl Land tourist area is an ideal suggestion for beach lovers and those who enjoy thrilling entertainment activities.
Phan Rang
Despite its harsh climate of 'wind like Phan, sun like Rang,' the coastal city of Phan Rang remains one of the most enticing destinations, attracting many beach enthusiasts to explore its mysterious and alluring untamed lands.
Discover the untouched beauty of pristine beaches like Ninh Chu, with its crystal-clear waters and endless stretch of white sandy shores resembling an elegant arch. Vinh Hy Bay is a picturesque masterpiece, often likened to a watercolor painting. Mui Dinh offers a wild landscape of sea, rocks, and sandy cliffs. Hang Rai unfolds like a fairy tale setting with stunning mountains, colorful coral reefs, and captivating scenery. Ca Na stands out with its unique curved coastal strip, resembling a captivating sickle shape. All these are the gems of the coastal city of Phan Rang, and once you set foot in these places, you'll be reluctant to leave.
Vung Tau
Situated 120 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau has long been a familiar tourist destination for families and young people alike. Beyond its sea and mountains, Vung Tau holds many other special treasures that often go unnoticed.
In Vung Tau, besides the well-known Truoc Beach, Sau Beach, and Thuy Van Beach in the city center, the province of Vung Tau also boasts several beautiful, untouched beaches due to limited tourism development. If you seek a pleasant and truly relaxing trip, away from the hustle and bustle of the urban life and the crowded tourist spots, explore beaches like Suoi O, Ho Coc, Ho Tram, Chi Linh, Doi Nhai, Loc An, and more.
Phan Thiet – Mui Ne
Sea and sand - that's what nature generously bestowed upon Phan Thiet. The beaches here are clean and serene, with warm sunshine throughout the year, minimal storms, making it an ideal destination for beach lovers of all ages. Moreover, Mui Ne boasts many pristine, untouched beaches with magnificent landscapes and a pure natural environment, such as Ong Dia Beach, Hon Rom, and more.
At Mui Ne, travelers can immerse themselves in the crystal-clear sea or play around on the shimmering golden sand dunes. For those seeking an adventurous experience, setting up tents on the sandy islets, lighting a campfire, engaging in group activities, and spending the night under the stars is an exciting option.
