Despite being called a night market, it's essentially a hub of seafood stalls on both sides of the street. To get here, head towards Imperial Hotel in Thang Tam ward, Vung Tau. The night market is right behind this hotel, near the Nguyen Bieu - Dao Duy Tu intersection. The best approach is to ask a local for directions or, even better, book a room at this hotel and seek assistance from the staff to avoid getting lost on the way to Bai Sau, where seafood is abundant but significantly more expensive.
This market opens its doors from 3 pm until 1 am, allowing you to explore the city before heading here for a late-night seafood feast. Especially during holidays and festivals, this seafood night market operates 24/7.
