Front Beach (Bai Truoc)
Bãi Trước
A curved bay west of the city center, with a palm-lined seaside park and dotted fishing boats. It is a good place for an evening stroll, watching the sunset, and eating seafood.
Front Beach, also known as Bai Dua, lies in a curved bay on the west side of Vung Tau's city center, between Big Mountain and Little Mountain. The water is shallow, and fishing boats are moored here, so swimming conditions are not as good as at Back Beach. However, the palm trees line the seaside park along Quang Trung Street, and in the evening you can watch the sun set into the bay, with lights glowing at night. The area is home to hotels, seafood restaurants, and cafés. It makes a good starting point for walking tours of the city, and you can walk south to the lighthouse and the White Palace. Free to visit.
