Popular Things To Do | Miscellaneous Things To Do Tips | All Tips (17) A giant, 100 foot tall statue of Jesus was constructed above the back beach on a lower slope of Small Mountain in the mid 1970s. I am told there are steps inside that lead up to his shoulder and a great view.
A similar statue of Mary is located on Big Mountain (Nui Lon) north of Front Beach.

Bach Dinh is a villa on the edge of the large mountain that presents nice views over the Front Beach (Bai Truoc). This mansion was built to house the rich and influential, now it is just a run-down building housing a museum, with cannon are display overlooking the harbor. Leave a Comment

Back Beach is on the eastern side of Vung Tau and is the largest beach in town. I am told it gets busy on weekends, but we arrived on a weekday and it was almost deserted. Leave a Comment

I saw this church in Vung Tau. It is a small church but has interesting mix of Vietnamese and French architecture to it. I am not sure whether it is still in use because it always seems closed.

Okay so this is not technically beach volley ball because the participants are not ON the beach. Leave a Comment Address: "Bai Sau" or Back Beach

Relaxing on the beach. Just be sure to have a pair of cool aviators like my friend Brian to protect your eye balls from the equatorial sun. Leave a Comment

The Back Beach is a long stretch of sandy beach - a favorite for the locals on weekends. Rent a lazy-men's chair for VND15,000 and enjoy the nice sea breeze with a bottle of beer and some sea food. Take a dip in the sea or play the jet ski.

The Statue of Jesus Christ is the iconic landmark of Vung Tau. It is located atop Small Mount and is reachable by a 20-minute tiring climb up the hill. But the view from the statue is great. You will get a nice view of the sea, Vung Tau city and Back Beach. You can also climb up the statue up to its arms and where you would also get a great view.
A trip to Vung Tau would not be complete without visiting this statue.
