[2025 Vung Tau Attraction] Travel Guide for Vung Tau Beach (Updated May)

Location: Vungtau in Vietnam. Getting there: Vungtao city is located 90 minutes on boat from Ho Chi Minh. We stayed in Vung Tau for four nights at the Cao Hotel. There are two beaches in Vung Tao. One is called front beach and one is called back beach. I recommend staying at front beach. Many five star hotels line up here and you have excellent access to the beach. This beach city is cheaper than most in Asia and it's really nice to swim and relax. Even in the winter, it's warm! #vungtau #vietnam

I recently spent a few days exploring Vũng Tàu and was pleasantly surprised by how much this coastal city offers beyond just beaches. It’s only about two hours from Ho Chi Minh City, making it a perfect weekend getaway. Beaches & Scenery Front Beach (Bãi Trước) is more relaxed, great for sunset strolls and people-watching, while Back Beach (Bãi Sau) is livelier with soft sand and waves, ideal for swimming or parasailing. The coastal roads offer stunning cliffside views, especially near Hải Đăng Lighthouse—definitely worth the short hike. Food & Cafes Seafood in Vũng Tàu is fresh, affordable, and everywhere! I loved dining at Gành Hào and trying local dishes like bánh khọt (crispy mini pancakes). For coffee lovers, there are some beautifully designed beachfront cafes like Soho and Marina Club where you can sip a drink while watching the waves roll in. Overall Vibe Vũng Tàu feels laid-back yet vibrant—a great mix of nature, local culture, and modern comforts. It’s a wonderful escape if you want a slower pace and some sea breeze. Rating: 4.5/5 Tip: Visit during weekdays if you want to avoid crowds! #vungtau #vungtaucity #vietnam

🏖️ Just a short trip from Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau Beach is the perfect escape for sun, sand, and sea lovers! 🌊 With its golden shores, cool breezes, and laid-back vibe, it’s a favorite weekend getaway for locals and travelers alike. 🌴 Spend your day lounging on the beach, swimming in the clear waters, or taking a stroll along the scenic coastline.

Beautiful sunset at Bai Sau shore.

Staff here were super helpful. They even helped me book a ferry to HCM! Shoutout to Nguyễn Trung Hieu for being extra helpful. Room was also very comfortable and nicely done.

I visited Vung Tau last weekend for the trail marathon , we must conquer every single peak of this oceanic city . It’s hectic n miserable but funny . Then i go for Luca Pizza, Russian Donuts , many many attempts on fruit tea + milk tea . The weather ‘s perfect on race date . However due to the sleepless night before , i was only able to finish half the course . I’d recommend guys to visit Cho Xom Luoi for seafood hunting steal
