Vung Tau – Mui Ne 2 – Day Loop
Route Summary
Duration: 2 days - 515 kms
This is a great option if you’re getting an early start out of Vung Tau, Day 1.
The inland ride is exceptional and if having a big night in MuiNe or some morning beach time day 2, leaves you the shorter coast ride home.

Vung Tau - Mui Ne via Coast
Distance: 195 kms
Day one out of Vung Tau is just so much nicer than out of Ho Chi Minh City. We start off along the coast rather than having to battle the city traffic.
(A & B) get you the best way out.
(C & D) take you for a look through an interesting fishing village.
(E) Is a great beach front coffee stop.
We hug the coast though as times move away from it through farmland to our next rest stop.
(F) At 64 metres high and built by the French in 1899 the oldest and highest lighthouse in Vietnam. A good stop to have a walk and check out the area.
(G) Is a point off the best beach stretch and an area known for its sunsets over the water.
As is evident to anyone riding the “esplanade” beach access in MuiNe is very limited. In fact it’s easy to forget you’re in a beach town through much of it at all.
If planning some time here a beachfront resort out of the accommodation options is worth considering particularly if with family.
(H) The town is well positioned as a good stopover though and this hotel is clean, great staff, very reasonably priced and has a good pool though the bar we normally use for a few beers on arrival is street front.
Plenty of great lunch and dinner options a short walk make it a great choice I now use often.
(I) Another great option off the beach at the higher end. Great unique cabins with a natural pool and great restaurant / party area.

Mui Ne - Vung Tau Inland
Distance: 320 kms
There’s the option to follow the coast for a shorter day but if you want a great ride day this is the best option. Don’t be put off by the distance. It’s all easy going but you will want quite a few photo stops so an early start is recommended.
Again care around your speed getting out of town but I’ve mapped around where they usually sit.
Watch for cattle as you head back toward the mountains. Some roadworks on the link road to the lakes area but otherwise pretty good. Again livestock, mostly goats on that stretch. See how you are for time.
(A) will get you out around the usual police haunts generally.
(B) the first of the two Dam Walls can cut 35k’s off the day if short on time. It’s an awesome 35k’s though and in fact the run past the turn off up the other side of the lake is worth it too. My favourite stretch on a big bike in the South.
(C) the second dam wall. Good lunch spot opposite the turnoff to it.
(D) on the map is a memorial cross in memory of the 18 Australian and 245 Vietnamese soldiers killed In the August 1966 Battle of Long Tan.
(E & F) Take you along the newly redeveloped Back Beach esplanade.Â
(G) The Twisted Throttle Tavern for a few cold beers and great pub meals. Â
