The beaches of Vung Tau are very beautiful (Vung Tau)

The beaches of Vung Tau are very beautiful. Vung Tau is a seaside city that travelers must experience.

I, mr.hotsia, had the chance to visit a coastal city in Vietnam calledVung Tauwhich is located in the province ofBa Ria – Vung Tau(Ba Ria – Vung Tau province) This city is well known among Vietnamese tourists and international travelers. With its beautiful beaches and a peaceful sea atmosphere, Vung Tau has become a destination that everyone wants to visit.

Getting to Vung Tau is not difficult. From Ho Chi Minh City, it takes about 5-6 hours by car, or if you want a more relaxed trip, you can take a speedboat across the sea in just about 1.5 hours. The boat will take you through sparkling waters and beautiful coastal views from the very first moment, making you want to jump into the water immediately.

Vung Tau Beaches: The Beauty I, mr.hotsia, Must Share

Vung Tau has two main beaches with distinctly different charms. The eastern side is calledBai Sauor Back Beach. It is a long curved beach that is the most popular in the city. I saw many Vietnamese tourists arriving as early as 6 AM to swim and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. The water here is clear and clean, perfect for swimming without worrying about strong waves. The fine sandy beach stretches as far as the eye can see, lined with many hotels and resorts along the shore. It is ideal for those who enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and genuine seaside relaxation.

The western beach, although not as long as the eastern side, has its own charm. This side is often the best spot to watch beautiful sunsets. For those who love a romantic atmosphere and want to see the sun dip below the horizon with a cool breeze, the western beach is the perfect choice.

The Two Mountains and the Most Beautiful Coastal Road in Vietnam

When talking about Vung Tau, we cannot miss the two mountains near the sea. These are divided into two main peaks:Big Mountainon the western side andSmall Mountainon the eastern side. On the summits of these two mountains, there are many interesting spots such as a lighthouse and a large statue of Jesus Christ, which is a symbol of the city. Surprisingly, there are also beautiful resorts and hotels on these small mountains. I, mr.hotsia, took the cable car up Big Mountain to enjoy panoramic views of the city and sea from above. It was an unforgettable experience.

The coastal road along the eastern bay connecting the two mountains is praised as the most beautiful road in Vietnam. Driving or cycling along this road, you will enjoy panoramic sea views, cool sea breezes, and see fishing boats and tourist boats passing by, creating a very relaxing feeling.

Accommodation and Seaside Life Atmosphere of Vietnamese People

Accommodations in Vung Tau are spread along both beaches. On the eastern side, there are small alleys with budget hotels for tourists priced around 300-400 baht per night, suitable for those who want to experience the authentic Vietnamese lifestyle. Larger resorts and luxury hotels are located on the mountains or beachfront with beautiful sea views, ideal for those seeking premium comfort.

Vung Tau is popular among Ho Chi Minh City residents who want to escape the city's hustle and bustle on weekends. It is easy to reach by speedboat, or for those who prefer land travel, you can drive through Ba Ria province (read more atBa Ria – Vung Tau province). Here, you will find local dishes and fresh seafood restaurants to choose from.

Seafood and Markets in Vung Tau: Filling My Trip with Deliciousness

Speaking of Vung Tau sea, I cannot skip mentioning the seafood. I tried the seafood buffet at Petro House hotel, a popular hotel among locals and international tourists. The price is about 400 baht per person (239,000 dong), which is very worthwhile for seafood lovers like me, mr.hotsia. Fresh seafood like shrimp, shellfish, crab, and fish can be grilled to your liking. There are also roasted duck and grilled chicken that are tender and very fragrant, so delicious that I had to go back several times. For more details about theseafood buffet in Vung TauI have already written about it.

Besides seafood, the market in Ba Ria city, not far from Vung Tau, is another place I, mr.hotsia, recommend visiting. The local lifestyle here remains simple and warm. There are local foods like fried chicken rice (Ga Ro Ti) that I really enjoyed. The skill of the chicken fryers in the Ba Ria night market is truly impressive. There are also many other Vietnamese dishes worth trying (read more aboutBa Ria fried chicken rice)

Getting Around Vung Tau: Convenient and Complete

Getting around Vung Tau city is quite convenient. The main bus station (Vung Tau Bus Station) connects to various cities in Vietnam such as Ho Chi Minh, Nha Trang, Da Lat, and many more. I, mr.hotsia, have taken a bus from Ba Ria to Vung Tau and found that Mailinh bus company provides excellent service with impressive standards. Additionally, if you want faster travel, you can take a speedboat from Ho Chi Minh directly to Vung Tau.
