VUNG TAU BEACH
The city is located in the south of Vietnam,situated at the tip of a small peninsula.
Vũng Tàu is interesting place for its extensive beaches. Tourists often prefer swimming on
Back Beach (Bãi Sau) but sightseeing on Front Beach (Bãi Trước). Back Beach is well-
known for its over 10 km of fine sand. As Vũng Tàu is only 130 km away from Ho Chi Minh
City, it is a favourite resort destination for those wishes to get away from the city. Vũng
Tàu also allows access to nearby less visited beaches like Long Hai, Ho Tram and Ho Coc.
