Southern Vietnam is renowned for its top-notch coastal destinations, often featured in budget tours. This summer is the perfect time to experience the raw, rustic beauty and recharge with some 'vitamin sea' while exploring Southern coastal travel.
1. Untouched Côn Đảo Beach
Côn Đảo Beach is hailed as a resort paradise with its pristine scenery and gentle waves. As the scorching summer sun arrives with occasional rains, many flock here to explore historic landmarks from the resistance era and the myriad of 21 large and small islands. Côn Sơn Island, with its array of beaches, will undoubtedly make visitors feel like they've stumbled upon a cool oasis.
Don't forget to visit Shark Cape near the southern tip of Côn Đảo, renowned for its scattered rock formations and pristine turquoise waters. Shark Cape and Nhát Beach, Dam Wharf are popular spots where many photography enthusiasts flock to when traveling to Southern Vietnam's coastal areas.
2. Vibrant Vũng Tàu Beach
Vũng Tàu has long been known for its stretch of beautiful beaches, white sands, golden sunshine, and gentle seas, along with numerous upscale resorts for relaxation and enjoyment on every holiday. Not only Front Beach and Back Beach, but Vũng Tàu tours also include many other stunning beaches such as Dau Beach, Phuoc Hai Beach, Crescent Moon Beach... Among them, the most popular destination for young people and families is Ho Tram Beach, where we can freely organize camping trips, outdoor parties, and BBQs...
3. Nam Du Beach, the most beautiful in the South
When it comes to Southern coastal travel, surely everyone has heard of the fame of Nam Du Islands. The reason it often ranks at the top and is loved by many is thanks to the rustic beauty of the small and large islands, often dubbed the 'Halong Bay of the South.' According to the Nam Du travel experience
4. Beach Paradise Phu Quoc
Traveling to the Southern coastal areas to explore Phu Quoc Island, you will visit a series of beaches: Rach Tram Beach, Rach Vem Beach, Thom Beach, Dai Beach, Ganh Dau Beach, Cua Can Beach (North Island); Ong Lang Beach, Truong Beach (West Island); Vong Beach (East Island); Sao Beach, Khem Beach, Vinh Dam Beach, Xep Lon Beach, Xep Nho Beach, Dat Do Beach (South Island). Overall, all beaches are beautiful with clear blue water, clean white sand, and their beauty changes according to each season, such as the dry season (November - April the following year) on the West Island will have warm sunshine while the East Island's rainy season (May - October) will have calmer waves.
The most beautiful beach in Phu Quoc is Sao Beach located on the Gulf of Thailand, where there is cool, clear water and fine white sand. Along the beach are rows of green coconut trees providing shade, gentle waves lapping against the white sand, surrounded by two mountain ranges. The longest beach is Long Beach, where the best quality resorts and hotels are concentrated thanks to the beautiful surrounding scenery, close to many prominent Phu Quoc tourist attractions such as Dinh Cau, Duong Dong Market, Sung Hung Ancient Pagoda... These are also the main reasons why these two beaches are often featured in cheap Phu Quoc tours offered by travel companies.
5. Serene Ha Tien Beach
While not as popular as other Southern coastal destinations, Ha Tien also carries a pristine, pure charm. Among them is Mui Nai, a place with great allure, named after a story about a deer drinking water. The sea here is refreshing with its characteristic dark hue, and the sandy beach has a striking dark brown color. The reason for the dark water is due to the presence of mud, which is also very beneficial for health, especially the skin.
If you enjoy diving to admire coral reefs, you can visit Hon Tre Beach on Hon Tre Island, the largest island in the Pirate Island tourist area. In addition to the white sand and blue sea, the surrounding area is also surrounded by tall coconut trees swaying in the wind. You can play in the cool water, rent snorkeling gear to explore the natural coral reefs near the beach. Evening is the most romantic moment on Hon Tre when you can watch the sunset and capture it through photos.

6. Explore Trà Vinh Beach and savor the unique delicacy, chù ụ
Ba Động Beach is considered one of the beautiful beaches that still retains its natural wildness with small sand dunes or towering cliffs. The beach has quite a lot of seashells, the water is not too clear, and sometimes it can be a bit cloudy during the rainy season, so there are very few tourists going for a swim. Usually, during the dry season when the water is clear, people start to swim at the beach.
The main attraction for tourists visiting this place in the Southern coastal area is perhaps the presence of chù ụ, a type of shellfish belonging to the crab family with a slow and clumsy appearance. People often catch it here and turn it into delicious dishes like grilled chù ụ, salt-roasted chù ụ, and more.
7. Discover Khai Long Beach with its rich mangrove ecosystem
Cà Mau is known as a land of year-round mangroves, forming a distinctive mangrove forest system clearly visible at Khai Long Beach. From this beach, we can overlook the pristine beauty of the Hon Khoai island cluster. Here, don't forget to stroll on the flat golden sandy beaches, as the wave intensity is not high, so we can easily access the shoreline.
An interesting point not to be missed is the phenomenon of coastal erosion. Every day, the sandy beach is still being replenished by silt carried by the tides, with an average of 50 - 80 meters of coastal erosion annually. Tourists can catch shrimp, dig for snails, or venture into the mangroves to catch crabs, fish, and paddle boats through the mangrove forest, trying to blend in as fishermen.

8. Brown-colored Beaches in Tien Giang
In Tiền Giang, there's Tan Thanh Beach, situated at the mouth of the river facing the East Sea, hence both the sand and the seawater carry a unique brown hue. Although not as crystal clear as other beaches or featured in affordable Mekong Delta tours, tourists still love to come here to enjoy the cool breeze, take photos, or learn about the lives of coastal fishermen nearby... Especially according to travel experiences in Tiền Giang, from March to September of the lunar calendar, we can even catch clams by hand and enjoy them right on the beach.
