The town of Nha Trang is built along a wide sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. Close to the town, it is busy with vendors offering a wide range of refreshments and services, but quieter further away. Once known as Viet Nam's St. Tropez, Nha Trang is the closest thing to a Western-style resort in the country. The beach is good for tropical vacations and safe for swimming, although heavy rain in November and December makes the normally crystal-clear water very murky.

Nha Trang has several famous islands. Most notable are Hon Tre, Hon Yen, Hon Rua and the Spratly islands From Saigon going northeast on highway 1 to Nha Trang, the road is extremely bouncy. The trip will take between 9-10 hours. On the way, the two major cities are Phan Rang and Phan Thiet. Both cities are small in size, however, Phan Thiet is very famous for its nuoc mam - fish sauce industry The next famous site before reaching Nha Trang is Cana beach. This stretch of beautiful white sand is a beautiful beach with a few restaurants; it is a popular rest area for travellers coming from the South.
