Bãi Tranh, Nha Trang: A Sustainable Slice of Paradise

#earthdayjourney Nestled on the serene island of Hòn Miễu, Bãi Tranh Beach is a hidden gem just a short boat ride from Nha Trang. With its unique blend of soft sand and smooth pebbles, this beach offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling mainland. But beyond its beauty, Bãi Tranh presents an opportunity to embrace sustainable travel. I chose to arrive via a shared boat to reduce my carbon footprint and opted for locally owned eco-friendly accommodations. The beach itself is clean, thanks to community-led conservation efforts, and I made sure to leave no trace behind. Instead of motorized water sports, I enjoyed kayaking and snorkelling, marvelling at the vibrant marine life while respecting the fragile coral reefs. For lunch, I savoured a seafood feast sourced from responsible fishing practices, supporting local fishermen who prioritize sustainability. Before leaving, I took part in a small beach cleanup—a simple yet rewarding way to give back. Bãi Tranh is more than just a beach; it’s a reminder that responsible travel doesn’t mean sacrificing incredible experiences.
