Hon Chong Promontory

The granite promontory resembles a giant’s playground, with enormous stone blocks haphazardly strewn about for visitors to traverse. Indeed, a wedged boulder at the site bears a hand-shaped mark on its side. Local legend has it that the print belongs to a fisher giant who fell off a cliff after being caught by the fairy he was spying on. It’s a nice spot to enjoy the sunset.

Bai Dai Beach

A relatively remote stretch of beach rising into sand dunes, Bai Dai is still unperturbed by high-rises or brick-and-mortar restaurants. A decent surfing spot for beginners, there is little in terms of urban establishments. Some makeshift food stalls serving seafood line the coast, but little else. Great for a quieter beach experience.

Sailing Club

Since its inception in 1994, the Sailing Club has been a staple of Nha Trang Bay, an all-encompassing evening spot that is part chic restaurant, part chill-out zone and part active dance floor. The open air venue features beachfront dining, eclectic beats and canopied beds. Come during an off-night for a low-decibel, laid-back evening by the bay, or join the crowds spilling into the sand for a night of live pumping dance music during peak nights.

Hon Yen

Hon Yen consists of two islands – Hon Noi and Hon Ngoai – and is known for the swiftlet nests precariously perched along its cave walls.
