Spoilt for choice: Vietnam’s
best beaches
Vietnam might have been late to Southeast Asia’s beach party, but it
was worth the wait. The country boasts more than 3400km of
coastline, with infinite stretches of powdery sand, hidden coves,
lovely lagoons, impossible boulder formations and tropical islands
ringed with yet more beaches. Help! Too many choices!
Nha Trang
The heavyweight champion of Vietnam, Nha Trang has been knocking out
visitors for years. True, the town is brazen and brash, but the
beach is bold and beautiful and a gateway to a cluster of quieter
islands.
Mui Ne
Set on a seductive swathe of sand, Mui Ne is an absolute charmer
with swaying palms and towering dunes. Get pummelled on the beach by
a masseur or pummelled by the waves with some water sports – this
place blends action and inertia to perfection.
Phu Quoc
Simply the most beautiful island in Vietnam, Phu Quoc is liberally
sprinkled with picture-perfect white-sand beaches and cloaked in
dense, impenetrable jungle. Long Beach is sophisticated, Ong Lan
Beach romantic, and Bai Sao simply irresistible.
China Beach
OK, so we are using artistic licence with the name, but whether you
call it My Khe to the north or Cua Dai to the south, it’s all just
one long, luscious stretch of sand. Try surfing off the shores of
Danang or just pamper yourself at the resorts near Hoi An.
Con Dao
The Con Dao Islands have been protected from over-exposure by their
isolated location off the coast. Enjoy it while it lasts, with their
smattering of resorts and an overdose of idyllic beaches, as this is
sure to be the next big thing in Vietnamese beaches.
Doc Let
While the rest of the world is sunning itself in Nha Trang, slip up
the coast to this little teaser, home to some atmospheric resorts
and some squeaky white sand; a place to get away from it all.
Ho Coc
Vung Tau to Phan Thiet is almost one long beach, but much of it
remains mercifully inaccessible to the masses. Sample its potential
with a retreat to Ho Coc, a glorious sandbar about midway along this
stretch.
