Vung Tau - Mui Ne
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.
