In an article titled "How to Find a Great Beach in Vietnam: An Expert's Guide," published on November 10th, New York Times journalist Damien Cave shared his journey exploring Vietnam's beaches and coastal resorts, and suggested must-visit destinations for international tourists.
As a veteran international journalist who has explored many famous beaches from East Africa and Australia to Hawaii, Thailand , and Fiji, Damien Cave says he and his wife moved to Ho Chi Minh City at the end of 2024. Since then, they have spent a lot of time searching for the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam. According to the author, Vietnam boasts a coastline of approximately 2,000 miles (over 3,200 km), with diverse landscapes and experiences. However, instead of just searching for a beautiful beach for relaxation, visitors should combine exploring the beach with the country's culture, history, cuisine, and vibrant lifestyle.
From Mui Ne to Da Nang, each beach has its own unique charm.
Among the destinations mentioned, Mui Ne is the first, boasting the advantage of being a seaside resort accessible by car from Ho Chi Minh City. The author recounts that before visiting Mui Ne, he had explored Vung Tau and Ho Tram but hadn't found a beach that truly met his expectations. Just when he was about to give up his search, he met Martin Koerner, Commercial Director of The Anam, who introduced Mui Ne as a worthwhile option.
