Vietnam beaches promising for perfect “get-away” vacations

With around 2,000 miles of coastline, Vietnam is luckily endowed with a number of white sand and beautiful beaches. The best ones are in the southern part of the country where the sun shines almost year round. Also several nice beaches in the north near Hanoi, but the period most suitable for swimming is limited from May to July or August due to weather conditions. The following beaches is listed north to south, starting with one of Vietnam's most famous beaches

China Beach

This 20 mile stretch of sand near Danang really was used by American soldiers as an "R&R" stop. The weather here is quite cool in the winter, but from April or May until August it can be very nice. The beach was the site of Vietnam's first international surfing competition in 1992. Conditions for surfing are best from September to December. The beach is home to one of Vietnam's most luxurious beach hotels, the Furama Resort. Danang, Marble Mountain, My Son and Hoi An can be explored by day-trips from China Beach.

Nha Trang

South-Central Vietnam's Nha Trang is the closest thing Vietnam has to an "international" beach resort destination. The waters are still clean and clear, making for good diving conditions. The accommodation in Nha Trang can meet any demand from standard hostels to the most luxurious resorts a in Vietnam. Nha Trang can be reached by air from Saigon, Hanoi and other cities.

Vung Tau

The beach at Vung Tau isn't especially great, but its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City insures a steady patronage from locals as well as tourists. Vung Tau is about 80 miles from Ho Chi Minh City. This destination can be reached by road or hydrofoil from this busiest city of Vietnam.

Phu Quoc Island

According to many, the beaches of Phu Quoc Island are the best in Vietnam. The island is still quite primitive and untouched. However some hotels and resorts are operated and well respond to the wide range of tourist’s demand rising. The island can be reached by air or by ferry from Rach Gia on the mainland.

Sparkling Halong bay in a full moon night

Tet Trung Thu, as it is known in Vietnam, or the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is a wonderful, ancient festival that revolves around children. The Festival dates back as far as 15-20,000 years ago in Asia, and is traditionally held on the 15th day of the 8th Lunar Month. This year, the date of the Festival is September 14th, the same day as the full moon. The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival is one of the two most popular festivals in Vietnam, and has been important to families in Vietnam for many years. It is said that originally, the Festival came about as a way for parents to make up for lost time with their children after harvest season. The harvest was done by September, (August in the Lunar calendar) and the parents were concerned their children and do something special with them, as well as celebrate the harvest, after spending much time working hard and away from the family.
