2. Nha Trang Beach – The city of Nha Trang is set along the beach and it makes a great place to swim, relax, get a massage or eat some local seafood. Many parks are being developed along the beach giving plenty of shade for all. During weekends and holidays the beach is packed with Vietnamese early morning and late evening. If you can brave the midday sun, you’ll have the beach to yourself!
3. Island Boat Tour – Tours can be booked at any travel agency around the backpacker area. Full day tours are a great way to see the islands, taste the local seafood, visit a fishing village and swim in the South China Sea. Most leave at 8am and return between 3 – 4 pm.
4. Long Son Pagoda – Built in 1963, this pagoda is famous for it’s 14m statue of Buddha, seated on a huge lotus flower. It’s also great for the legs, as you’ll need to climb 154 steps to reach the statue! Once there, you’ll have sweeping views of Nha Trang and near by paddies.
5. Night Out On The Town – Nha Trang is a great party town. My two favorite hang outs are the Sailing Club (72 Tran Phu St) and Guva Bar (Biet Thu St). The Sailing is an old favorite with travelers and open late, set on the beach you could spend all day and night there! They also have great food.
The Guva Bar is just as good, with great music and relax atmosphere. Canadian owned, the Guva is opened late and also offers great food.
6. Bike Tours – Nha Trang is quite flat so it makes a great place to hire a bike and ride around. Besides the things above, you can also visit the Nha Trang Cathedral, Oceanographic Institute, Bao Dai’s Villas and the Pasteur Institute. Finish at the beach for sunset and a cold drink!
