Restaurants, kiosks, and hotels are close to the beach. Vong Nguyet, also called O Quan Beach, is a peaceful cove with good wind. Surfers particularly enjoy this area.

Best beach in Viet Nam
Have you been Mui Ne? It is a very nice beach.
Ba Ria - Vung Tau is set to see a new beachside Las Vegas style casino and resort built by MGM in the next couple of years.
I dunno where that first pic is from but it's def. not VUNG TAU! In reality Vung Tau is decent at best, packed to the gills on the weekends and filled with shady characters and 'club girls'. Head to Cam Ranh for the nicest undiscovered beaches. Shhhh...
huhm... front beach of vung tau is now pretty dirty, actualy, a lots. u guys should enjoy Bai Sau. there are many high quality hotels and bars or unique coffee shops.
but i think everyone should experience Phu Quoc island with beautiful coral and some undiscovered pieces.
ps: some beaches in the center of viet nam have shark attacking people!!!
mmmm... I've been to Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Mui Ne n Ha Long Bay, just not Vung Tau n i think i like Hoi An best.8 - 10 km from the center, near by The Nam Hai resort... just sooo beautiful, gr8 sun rise. Tra Co beach is good 2. Phu Quoc is awesome but too expensive T_T.
ps : i went diving in Indonesia n i saw some sharks but they were small.not like the sharks they found here !!!wierd.
front beach of vung tau is terrible. dirty, unpleasant smell, full of rocks n not a smooth beach at all. the back beach is much better. very long, very clean, pleasant. some nice places to relax n have a drink if u like too.
the best beach in vietnam should be Nha Trang.There are islands surrounded,clean and beautiful beaches.Activities are great and much more cheaper than Vung Tau but its located quite away from both Saigon and Ha Noi.Anyway its nice,worthy of its value.Have u guys enjoy it sometime.
Vung tau beach getting dirty nowadays....it `s not so nice
The best beach belong to South of VN might be :
-Phu Quoc island ( clean , nature )
-Nha trang
