If you're looking for turquoise water and white sand beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, then Vietnam's coastal city of Nha Trang is the place for you. The coastline here is as impressive as any of the top beach destinations around South East Asia.
The downtown strip on Tran Phu Street is where most holiday-goers tend to head since the city has experienced a boom of luxurious resorts and hotels. Gazing out to sea, toes in the sand with a cool pina colada in hand is just one way to enjoy Vietnam’s Nha Trang, but there are plenty of other things to do and sights to behold.
Diving, snorkelling and boat trips to nearby islands are the most popular watersport activities. The crystal clear water allows for incredible visibility so get ready to witness the abundance of marine life that lies beneath. For the more adventurous, why not rev up a jet ski and zip about on the open ocean? Parasailing also makes for a thrilling ride in the sky, and a chance to gaze out over the striking backdrop.
Nha Trang is by no means limited to aqua fun and sunbathing. The Ba Ho Waterfalls, just a short drive from the city centre are a spectacular sight, not to be missed. For a calming moment, seek out the charming ruins of Cham Tower and Long Son Pagoda. The mineral mud baths and hot springs in Thap Ba are also an enticing option for those keen to cleanse the mind, body and soul.
Nha Trang has rightfully earned its reputation as a destination for those wanting a taste of everything, and the experts at Lightfoot Travel know just how to plan a perfect getaway that encompasses it all.
