Nha Trang Beach The city’s splendid beach is Nha Trang’s raison d’etre. Its soft sands and turquoise water are open to anyone; a few private restaurants and resorts in Nha Trang rent out beach chairs and umbrellas along the length if the beach. Parts are deserted and parts are mobbed, but one constant is the roving vendor traffic, offering everything from fresh mangoes to English-language books to drugs to oil massages. The beach becomes less crowded the farther north you go, culminating in an empty patch north of the Hon Chong Promontory. Hotel managers warn their guests against walking along until parts of the beach late at night; there have been rumors of muggings, though none have been officially reported.

Hon Lao (Monkey Island) A popular destination for Ha Long Bay tours heading from Cat Ba, this island is located east of the town and only 45min boat ride away. The island can be visited either as a daytrip or as a stop on a tour. A soft yellow beach greets tourists to the mountainous island. Once landed, visitors can promenade along the shore swim in the warm bay waters. The major attraction of the island, however, lies on the top of one of its smaller peaks. To the left of the guardhouse (or to the right when facing it), a 60m trail runs up the mountain. At the top, visitors can spot monkeys who come to greet their spectators. Though locals might urge tourists to bring some snakes for the friendly animals, feeding animals is strictly prohibited. Viewers should keep their distance anyway; some monkeys have been known to bite, mistaking people for food or perhaps just angry about the possible illegal consumption of their brains. You can’t really blame them. Source: https://getvietnamvisa.com
