Mui Ne Beach

Posted by Hoàng Nguyên On 22:57 No comments

When one talks about Vietnam’s tourist attractions, it is deficient if we do not mention Mui Ne as one of the most beautiful beach destinations of Vietnam. Like Vung Tau, Mui Ne is also considered a coastal resort town in Phan Thiet – the capital of Binh Thuan province, about 4 hours by bus from Ho Chi Minh City.

The name “Mui Ne” interestingly has many origins. The first meaning comes from the fishermen in the past. In their life, they usually faced sea storms, so they used to hide in a cape, which was called “Mui” in Vietnamese, and “hide” meant “Ne”. The second one originated as the name of the youngest daughter of Cham King – who was known as the owner of this land. Her alias was Ne, therefore, the cape where her temple was built was called “Mui Ne”.

Phan Thiet destinations: Mui Ne BeachMui Ne is a tropical beach with wonderfully warm weather, which is ideal for swimming. However, since the area from the central stretch to the northern end is dominated by fishing industry, the southern part is more suitable for swimming.

With strong see breezes, Mui Ne is most famous for kite and wind surfing. Days from November to March have clear skies with perfectly strong winds from 11am until late evening. The rock-free water makes it relatively safe for kite surfers. There are also some Kite Surfing Schools, in which kite surfing starters are helped to launch the kite by beach boys.

Obviously, lots of beautiful spots in Mui Ne attract domestic as well as international tourists. The first one to mention is Ca Na Beach, which take a 2-hour drive from Mui Ne and provides probably the best coral reefs and diving opportunity in Vietnam. Next is Fairy STream (Suoi Tien) – a stream where people can sightsee the local wildlife (birds, crabs, fish, frogs, many exotic flowers, etc.), Fish Sauce Plant, where famous Phan Thiet fish sauce (nuoc mam) is produced and sold all over Vietnam, Phan Thiet Water Tower, designed by Prince Suphanouvong of Laos – also the symbol of Binh Thuan province, Takou Mountain – 1-hour drive from Mui Ne Beach, which has not only beautiful tropical rain forest, but also an old pagoda on top of the mountain, Po Shu Cham Tower – a relic of Cham Culture built in the 8th century, which should not be missed, etc. The most must-see one is the Sand Dunes (Doi Cat), where the dunes turn from white to gold (red dunes can be found further south in Mui Ne Village).

Tourists arriving in Mui Ne can also enjoy the atmosphere in Mui Ne Village Market, which sells lots of fresh fruits and inexpensive cloting. Best time to visit is early in the morning.
