Nha Trang - on the coast in Central Vietnam

10 votes

Large, busy city with a long beach and lots of beautiful islands off the coastline. Plenty of snorkelling to look at coral, lots of lazing in the sun, markets and excellent French/Vietnmaese bakeries.

Favourite spots:

The beach, the markets, the bakeries, the islands, the snorkelling, the coral - everything really

What's really great:

Did an island cruise on an old boat and snorkelled, ate, swam, and went for a ride in a round boat - very interesting place.

Sights:

The islands are amazing. I had never seen coral before, and although it is not as impressive as the Red Sea or the Barrier Reef in Australia, it was beautiful and there was plenty to see. Some of the coral has been damaged because of pollution, but there were lots of little fish swimming around.

Other recommendations:

Loved the markets - spent a lot of time browsing there because it is so fascinating. The people were selling absolutely everything imagineable - see photo.
