Mui Ne Beach
A resort beach stretching about 10 km, known across Asia as a top destination for kitesurfing and windsurfing, with rows of seafood barbecue stalls along the shore.
Mui Ne Beach refers to the coastline stretching east from Phan Thiet to Mui Ne fishing village, the Hàm Tiến–Mui Ne coast, about 10 km long. Dozens of resorts, guesthouses, and restaurants line the shore, and the main road is Nguyễn Đình Chiểu Street. From November to March each year, the northeast monsoon blows steadily and strongly, making this one of Asia's most famous kitesurfing and windsurfing destinations, and dozens of colorful kites often fill the sky above the sea. Several kitesurfing schools along the coast offer courses from beginner to advanced levels. Beginners typically need 6 to 10 hours of lessons before they can ride independently, and fees are charged by the hour. Note that some beaches have narrowed due to coastal erosion, and some resorts protect the shoreline with sandbags and embankments. At high tide the sand almost disappears, so pay attention when choosing a hotel. In the evening, you can eat grilled scallops, lobster, squid, and crab at seafood barbecue stalls along the shore, such as the Bờ Kè seafood area, priced by weight. Getting there: buses from Ho Chi Minh City can drop you off right at hotels along the route. Notes: winter brings strong waves, so swim only within the lifeguard zone. Watch your belongings, and kitesurfing should be done under professional instruction.
