Vung Tau beaches

Front Beach (Bãi Trước) is the most popular, which for many others is enough reason to stay away. In addition to the crowds, the water is rather polluted and doesn’t offer the best beach setup. However, you can still enjoy some fresh seafood at the many stalls and restaurants that have set up shop—they serve some of the most delicious seafood in the south of Vietnam.

For a better beach experience, head to any of the other three. Back Beach (Bai Sau) is much less dirty and perfect for surfing. As the beach gets some wonderful wind swells, kite surfing shops have appeared over the years, offering rentals and classes for all levels.

Pineapple Beach has calmer waters and fantastic sunset views, while Paradise Beach belongs to a resort park with a rather exclusive crowd. Here you have to pay an entrance fee which grants access to luxuries such as showers, and a fancy strip with high-end dining options.
