1. Front Beach
Address: Right on the city's forefront, nestled between the base of the Big and Small Mountains, starting from 1 Tran Phu Street to a section of Ha Long Road.
Front Beach, also known as Tâm Dương Beach, is a serene small bay with calm waves, curving like a crescent moon leaning against the mainland, featuring picturesque landscapes of mountains and water. Due to being a anchorage for fishing boats, the waters of Front Beach are polluted, resulting in fewer visitors for swimming. However, this area is a hub for recreational activities, high-end hotels, vibrant resorts, colorful illuminated bars, and nearly all main roads of Vung Tau lead to this place, attracting many tourists.

3. Pineapple Beach
Address: From the central park of Front Beach, along Ha Long Road by the seaside, visitors will arrive at Pineapple Beach.
Pineapple Beach, also known as Lang Du Beach, is a beach with a picturesque and tranquil beauty, unlike other lively and bustling beaches. It earned the name Pineapple Beach because there used to be many wild pineapple trees on the mountain slopes. Shielded by protruding mountainous terrain, Pineapple Beach in Vung Tau is almost free from strong waves and gusty winds, making it an ideal spot for visitors to immerse themselves in the cool water.
