Fish Market
  • Tip Rating:
  • We got up at 4 A.M. one morning and took a trip to the local fish market. The men go out at night to fish and bring in their catch early. For the most part it seems to be women on the dock sorting, moving and cutting up the fish. I don't think many tourists make this trip, people seemed a bit surprised to see us there. Stay out of the way or you will get a nudged by someone with a basket of fish and need a trip to the shower!
    If you come later in the morning you will miss all the activity.

    Beach barbecue
  • Tip Rating:
  • As said in my Nha Trang intro, we ate fresh squid and crabs to our heart's content (what you see is just part of our seafood) for only USD6... What a bargain

    small villages
  • Tip Rating:
  • a little outside nha trang you have small villages where life is still like it used to be in the old days.
    it takes only half an hour to gat away from the tourist scene if you get tired of all the white people in nha trang.

    Teaching local kids
    At Crazy Kim's Bar, you can sign up to volunteer to teach local children how to speak and read in English.

    The owner of the bar is a huge advocate against sex tourism and pedophiles in Vietnam.

    Bha Yai beach
    Forget Nha trang city beaches, and forget the islands, too. If you want an unspoilt beach, frequented only by locals, with great and cheap seafood, and especially with excellent waves to body-surf, head to Bha Yai beach.

    Finding the beach is not really easy, and you'll need to rent a mortobike or hire a taxi to get there, as it is about 30 minutes driving from Nha Trang. Take the airport road, go up the "mountain2, and as you come down, when you reach flat ground again, take the first road on the left... it'll take you straight to the beach. It's not sign-posted...

    Walk around!
    If you go up to the mud spa place (very good), walk as it's really very pleasant. Go via one bridge, and come back over the other. The views of the drying fish and harbour areas is great.

    Breathtaking scenery on the bumpy way- Chapter 1
    It belongs to Cam Ranh District, not Nha Trang. We used to have to travel 60kms to get to Cam Ranh in the past, but a new road was being built from Le Hong Phong Street so that it's only about 15 kms from Nha Trang city center.

    It's worth the effort to suffer the bumpy road on taxi, because the scenery is terrific! My digital cam and poor knowledge of photography can't capture it all.

    Rocky beach
    Look like that of an adventure movie, this rocky beach is part of Bai Dai, which means Long Seashore in Vietnamese. This part isn't swim-worthy like others of Bai Dai, but the view is photogenic
