Phan Thiet is the capital of Binh Thuan province that is lying in the south of Vietnam, 200 km away from Ho Chi Minh City, four hours by car/bus. This town is well-known for fishing industry and the popular Vietnamese fish sauce. Off Phan Thiet 24 km to the North East is Mui Ne, an ideal tourist site and a source of inspiration for artists and for relaxation.
The lonely beaches, still untouched by tourists made Mui Ne became popular. It boasts shady roads under coconut trees, a beautiful beach and cliffs battered by the waves of the sea. The typical scenery of Mui Ne lies in the moving lines of golden sand caused by the wind and when they are seen from afar they look like moving waves. The scenery looks more fascinating at dawn, when young Cham girls in green dresses go to work. That's why no photographer fails to visit this area.
This is an ideal place for rest and relaxation. Visitors can certainly enjoy swimming in the blue water of the sea, climbing the sand dunes or relaxing by a swimming pool. In fact this oasis enter-people of all ages, and furthermore, provides an endless inspiration to the artists' creation.
How to get there:
Normal tourists take flight to Ho Chi Minh city, then take 4 hours more on car/bus to reach to this attractive beach. There are lots of 3 stars and 4 stars resort along the beach.
MUI NE HIGHLIGHT
Kite boarding & Windsurfing in Mui Ne Bay
Mui Ne is quickly becoming a South East Asian Mecca for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Mui Ne has the best conditions in all of Asia for water sports because it has Asia's strongest and most consistent cross-onshore winds and the lowest rainfall in Vietnam Every day is a perfect day. You may ask why you haven't heard of it, if it's so great? The reason is the tourism industry has only existed for about 10 years in this province. The development is new, and this best-kept secret has only just been discovered.
Fairy Spring:
This scenic stream is located in Ham Tien (Mui Ne Beach) and winds through breathtaking red and white sand cliffs from deep in the dunes, out to the beach. This is a great place to see some of the local wildlife as well, including birds, crabs, fish, frogs and many exotic flowers.
Sand Dunes:
Mui Ne also attracts tourists and locals alike for its enormous sand dunes. Constantly changing with the winds and rains, the dunes are never the same. Ever! You can stroll the dunes and admire the wind's intricate patterns in the sand or revel in the shrieks of delight and laughter as youngsters (and the young at heart) slip and slide their way down 30m (100 foot) high sand dunes. (usually ending up in a spray of sand and a giggling mass of bodies, arms and legs!).
