Vung Tau Hotel Vietnam Accommodation Hotels Guide
Vung Tau is an old port and the first Vietnamese area to be visited by
vacationers and people seeking health treatment. Vung Tau is located on
a 110 km2 area, 125 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City.
Vung Tau, with an average temperature of 28°C, has 20 km of coastline
with famous soft-sand beaches and calm waters.
Vung Tau has five beaches scattered over the peninsula. Bai Truoc, also
called Front Beach, is located on the northern side of Vung Tau and stands
between Nho and Lon Mountains. Restaurants, kiosks, and hotels are close
to the beach. Vong Nguyen, also called O Quan Beach, is a peaceful cove
with good wind. Surfers particularly enjoy this area.
Bai Dua or Dua Beach is located approximately 2 km from the center of
the city. People who do not like crowded beaches particularly enjoy this
quiet beach. Bai Sau, also called Back Beach, is the longest stretch of
sand on the peninsula. It is located approximately 2 km from town on the
southeastern side of Vung Tau. It is exposed to South China Sea wind and
surfing there is excellent. Finally, Bai Dau Beach is located at the foot
of Lon Mountain. It is a small quiet beach, 3 km northwest of Vung Tau.
Transportation
There is a fast hydrofoil boat from Saigon. It used to leave at the pier
just opposite the Majestic, but this pier is currently being rebuilt.
But you can still wait there and an air-con bus will pick you up and bring
you to the Russian naval base down the road, where the boat currently
leaves. There are two types of tickets, for USD 7 and USD 12, but they
give you the same comfort. The boat takes about 1 hours.
