When it comes to Nha Trang tourism, it’s no stranger to domestic travelers. However, few are aware that Nha Trang has become a destination that captivates countless wanderers with its wild and enchanting “four scenic wonders,” a gift from nature to this coastal region: Binh Ba, Binh Tien, Binh Lap, and Binh Hung.
The coastal city of Nha Trang has long been famous for its vibrant beach activities, ranking among the top in Vietnam, and the modern, internationally-standard Vinpearl Land amusement park. When mentioning Nha Trang’s beaches, visitors immediately think of pristine white sands, crystal-clear waters, and islands with untouched, majestic beauty like Dam Mon, Diep Son, Hon Mun, and Hon Tam. But recently, Nha Trang has further enchanted travelers with the picturesque charm of its four islands: Binh Ba, Binh Tien, Binh Lap, and Binh Hung.
Binh Ba Nha Trang
Binh Ba has recently become a familiar name among travelers. Located in Cam Ranh city, Binh Ba Island, also known as the lobster island, is a small, relatively untouched island with blue seas and white sands in Khanh Hoa province.

To reach Binh Ba, visitors can take a motorbike taxi from Cam Ranh bus station to Ba Ngoi pier, then take a ferry for about 30 minutes to Binh Ba, with a ticket price of 30,000 VND per passenger. It’s important to note that Binh Ba tourism currently lacks developed services like hotels or resorts, making it ideal for travelers seeking a rustic and peaceful experience in Nha Trang.

Binh Ba boasts three stunning beaches that visitors should explore: Bai Chuong, Bai Nom, and Bai Nha Cu. Additionally, travelers can indulge in the local specialty, lobster, prepared in simple yet authentic fishing village styles that highlight its natural sweetness and firm texture. Lobster farming is a primary livelihood for many islanders, with hundreds of lobster cages scattered across Binh Ba.
Binh Tien
Located on the border between Ninh Thuan and Khanh Hoa provinces, Binh Tien can be reached by traveling from Phan Rang along National Highway 1A. This serene beach offers a tranquil escape with its pristine blue waters and soft white sands.

Binh Tien beach tourism offers the natural beauty of cool blue shores, wild landscapes, and small fishing villages brimming with fresh seafood. Visitors to Binh Tien can relax on endless stretches of sand, immerse themselves in the calm, rippling waves, or savor delicious meals featuring ocean-inspired delicacies.
Additionally, traveling to Binh Tien in Nha Trang feels like discovering a hidden gem, as the beach is sheltered by forests and rocky mountains, creating a serene atmosphere. This untouched destination lacks tourist services, making it perfect for camping overnight by the sea, listening to the waves, or hosting an affordable seafood barbecue.
Binh Lap
Known as a peninsula, Binh Lap is accessible without a ferry, unlike Binh Ba. Starting from Cam Ranh city, travelers only need to drive an additional 10 km to reach Binh Lap. The scenic route to Binh Lap is a highlight, with winding mountain passes, small bays resembling picturesque landscapes, and below, aquaculture farms, coconut groves, and the sparkling blue sea under golden sunlight.

Visiting Binh Lap offers the chance to explore Binh Chau beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and soft sands. Tucked away and relatively secluded, it remains a hidden gem. Additionally, travelers should visit Bai Ngang and Bai Lao to admire the stunning natural beauty of the area.
Binh Hung
An island renowned for its flawless white sandy beaches and transparent turquoise waters. Despite being a famous tourist spot in Nha Trang, Binh Hung remains largely undeveloped, preserving its enchanting, untouched charm.

To reach Binh Hung, travelers should head to Bai Kinh and take a ferry to the island. Once there, you can stay with local families or set up camp by the shore. Joining a Binh Hung tour, visitors can explore pristine beaches like Bai Da Trung, Bai Cay Me, and Bai Chuoi, perfect for swimming, visiting floating houses, snorkeling to see coral, sunbathing, listening to the waves, or simply relaxing in the coastal ambiance.
