Today is a free day to relax or explore the unique surroundings of Mui Ne, located at the far end of the beach. While many visitors come for sunbathing, swimming, and windsurfing, Mui Ne offers much more than its tranquil shoreline.
Take time to visit the Mui Ne Fishing Village, a charming and often overlooked spot that offers a glimpse into authentic coastal life. There are three great reasons to make the trip:
-
Peaceful and Untouched – Few tourists venture beyond the sand dunes, making the village a quiet and authentic experience.
-
Scenic Harbour Views – The harbour, filled with traditional round fishing boats, is incredibly picturesque — especially from the viewpoint where the dunes road turns off.
-
Cultural Curiosity – The village is home to a fascinating pagoda dedicated to Vietnam’s whale cult, where locals hold ceremonies and preserve massive whale skeletons, believed to be protectors of fishermen.
For those looking to stay active, the area is also ideal for windsurfing, kitesurfing, or simply walking along the expansive red and white sand dunes, which create a surreal desert-like landscape right by the sea.
