Most people like the locals or tourists come to Nha Trang for the beach. That would be their main motive. The beach here is unbelievably breathtaking. The water is so clear that you can literally distinguish everything you see under sea. The sand is white, the wind is peaceful, the air is fresh, and the people are friendly. Most importantly, everything the place has to offer is great and inexpensive. Whether you come for fresh air from the ocean, or to get a nice tan, or just to relax with your family, the beach at Nha Trang has it all. What is also different here is that you will likely see many women vendors walking along the beach selling steamed seafood. They will carry different types of seafood (some are unique to Vietnam and very expensive), and food is always kept hot and fresh. If you ever have the chance to come here, one of the things you must try is this as it is very tasty.

The sites below can be toured in one day. It is always better to tour with other people.
