Vung Tau is an old port and the first Vietnamese area to be visited by vacationers and people seeking health treatment.
Vung Tau is situated in Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, 125km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City.Vung Tau, with an average temperature of 28ºC, has 20km of coastline with famous soft-sand beaches and calm waters.
Vung Tau has five beaches scattered over the peninsula. Bai Truoc, also called Front Beach, is located on the western side of Vung Tau and stands between Nho and Lon Mountains. Restaurants, kiosks, and hotels are close to the beach. Vong Nguyet, also called O Quan Beach, is a peaceful cove with good wind. Surfers particularly enjoy this area.

Bai Dua or Dua Beach is located approximately 2km from the center of the city. People who do not like crowded beaches particularly enjoy this quiet beach. Bai Sau, also called Back Beach, is the longest stretch of sand on the peninsula. It is located approximately 2km from town on the southeastern side of Vung Tau. It is exposed to East Sea wind and surfing there is excellent. Finally, Bai Dau Beach is located at the foot of Lon Mountain. It is a small quiet beach, 3km west of Vung Tau.

Beside beautiful beaches, Vung Tau also has many unique architectural achievements as: Jesus Christ's Statue, White Villa, Sakyamuni Pagoda, Thang Tam's Local Gods.

I dunno where that first pic is from but it's def. not VUNG TAU! In reality Vung Tau is decent at best, packed to the gills on the weekends and filled with shady characters and 'club girls'. Head to Cam Ranh for the nicest undiscovered beaches. Shhhh...

huhm... front beach of vung tau is now pretty dirty, actualy, a lots. u guys should enjoy Bai Sau. there are many high quality hotels and bars or unique coffee shops.
but i think everyone should experience Phu Quoc island with beautiful coral and some undiscovered pieces.
ps: some beaches in the center of viet nam have shark attacking people!!!

mmmm... I've been to Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Mui Ne n Ha Long Bay, just not Vung Tau n i think i like Hoi An best.8 - 10 km from the center, near by The Nam Hai resort... just sooo beautiful, gr8 sun rise. Tra Co beach is good 2. Phu Quoc is awesome but too expensive T_T.
ps : i went diving in Indonesia n i saw some sharks but they were small.not like the sharks they found here !!!wierd.

the best beach in vietnam should be Nha Trang.There are islands surrounded,clean and beautiful beaches.Activities are great and much more cheaper than Vung Tau but its located quite away from both Saigon and Ha Noi.Anyway its nice,worthy of its value.Have u guys enjoy it sometime.
