Phan Thiet is the capital city of Binh Thuan Province. Mui Ne is a part of Phan Thiet City, the area within the Mui Ne Bay. Mui Ne means “the cape to take shelter from storms”. This is because the little bay with Cape Mui Ne is a safe place for boats during typhoons.
Mui Ne Beach is 20km from Phan Thiet City Center. Mui Ne possesses 16 kilometers of sandy beach with luxury resorts and hotels nestled in palm forests. By far, Mui Ne Beach is considered paradise for beach vacations in Vietnam. Mui Ne is 200km north-east of Ho Chi Minh City and 150km south of Phan Rang Thap Cham City.
Phan Thiet Mui Ne Travel Guide, Tourist Attractions at Mui Ne and Phan Thiet City
1/The Ca Ty River & Phan Thiet Fish Harbor
This river is in Phan Thiet City and the river mouth is also the Fish Harbor of Phan Thiet. The best moments to get some great photos of the scene here are either at night or early in the morning when the boat is back from the sea.
2/The Sand Dunes: Red Sand Dune and White Sand Dune
There are the Red Sand Dune (close to the Cape of Mui Ne) and the White Sand Dune which is nearly 30km from Mui Ne. Both these sand dunes offer lovely opportunities for photography. The best moments are found in the early morning or late afternoon. At mid day, it is too hot to visit these places.
At the Red Sand Dune you can go sand-boarding. At the White Sand Dune, there are quad bike for hire. Think twice before jumping on the quad bike though as it may be dangerous to other travelers and the noise is horrible given the spectacular landscape.
3/The Desert
The desert is 40km from Mui Ne. The amazing scene should be best explored by motorbike, by jeep or by bicycle. You do not want to go on desert safaris when it is hot season though.
