Nha Trang Beach

Getting around: Runs along the eastern edge of central Nha Trang; walkable from virtually all beachfront and city-center hotels.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a public beach; the promenade is popular from early morning through evening.

Nha Trang Beach is a long, curving stretch of city beach that gives Nha Trang its identity as one of Vietnam's main beach resort cities, backed by a promenade of parks, restaurants, and a wall of high-rise hotels along Tran Phu street. It's cleaner and better maintained than it was some years ago, with reasonably calm, swimmable water, though it can get crowded in the tourist-heavy central stretch, especially in peak season.

Morning is when the beach sees the most local activity — swimming, group exercise classes, and social gatherings — while the afternoon and evening bring more of the tourist crowd and beachfront dining and drinking scene.
