Vung tau beach
Vung Tau sits at the end of a promontory of land marking the north end of the Mekong and Saigon deltas. Its only 128 kilometers (80 miles) from Ho Chi Minh City by road, and so has become a favorite weekend getaway destination for the residents of Saigon. The development this has lead to has not been entirely for the good, but Vung Tau is still a nice beach, although far from the best Vietnam has to offer. You can conveniently get to Vung Tau by hydrofoil from Ho Chi Minh City. The trip takes just over an hour.
While the Front Beach is more expensive than the rest, Bai Dau not only has the cheapest guest houses, but is also the most relaxing part, located three km from the town center.
Location: in Southern Vietnam, 125km (2hours driving) from Saigon.
Best time to travel: Year round.
Activities: water sport, yachting, snorkeling, golfing.
Excursion: fishing harbor, Jeep tour to Binh Chau hot spring, dog racing.
Average cost per day/person: from $54 (twin shared, 4* hotel - Superior).
