While popular coastal destinations are seeing a surge of tourists this summer, some travel lovers are on the lookout for quieter locations to truly unwind. One such spot is Vung Tau, a coastal city in the southern part of the country.
Vung Tau's peak tourist season typically begins in June and peaks in July, coinciding with the summer break for students. By August, the number of visitors drops as students and teachers return to school. However, this doesn't diminish the stunning beauty and allure of Vung Tau.

- Vung Tau is very easy to reach
For travelers from the North, Vung Tau might seem quite distant, but for those from the Central and Southern regions, especially in Saigon, Vung Tau feels like a nearby getaway destination. From the center of Ho Chi Minh City, it's just a 2-hour bus or motorbike ride to reach this spacious and beautiful coastal city. The route is smooth, straight, and wide, making it comfortable whether you're traveling by car or motorbike.
If you're traveling from Hanoi, you should book a flight to Saigon and then take a road trip to Vung Tau. Flights from Hanoi to Saigon are plentiful, with a variety of airlines, flight times, and ticket prices available, as this is one of the busiest routes in the country.
- Vung Tau not only boasts beautiful beaches but also offers many famous attractions
As a coastal city, it's no surprise that Vung Tau's beaches are stunning. Once you visit, you won't forget the beauty of its beaches. There are two main beaches: Bai Truoc and Bai Sau. Bai Sau is more popular among visitors for swimming due to its peaceful, open scenery, fine sand, and long stretch of beach with clear blue water. The Vung Tau beach appears vast, with towering waves, but in reality, the water is very calm and welcoming to visitors. Bai Truoc, on the other hand, is more suited for sightseeing and leisurely walks, which is why you'll find many restaurants, cafes, and upscale hotels there.
