Nha Trang: things to do, beaches, islands and where to stay (2026)
Nha Trang is the big beach resort of Vietnam's central coast: a long city beach, islands to visit by boat, the Cham towers of Po Nagar and an amusement park on Vinpearl island. Allow two to four days. The prices below come from guides read in October 2026 and vary between sources.
Highlights
The city beach
A long sand beach in the city centre, lined by Tran Phu street, where most hotels, restaurants and bars are.
The islands and boat trips
Hon Mun and Diep Son are among the islands most mentioned for diving, snorkelling and boat tours.
The Cham towers of Po Nagar
Hindu Cham temples dating back to the 7th century; no reliable admission price could be confirmed, so ask on the spot.
Vinpearl and VinWonders
An amusement park on the island, reached by cable car or speedboat; one guide gives 880,000 VND for the cable car and rides, another gives a very different and dated figure: check the official price.
