Hey guys
I was originally going to stay in ho chi min for 1.5 weeks and then 1.5 week in vung tau, but my research now shows me the waters are dirt brown in vung tau at times and there is very mixed reviews about whether or not its an enjoyable place to stay.
If you guys were in a position where you had 3 weeks only in Vietnam, how would you devide your time?
Im forsure staying in HCM for at least 1 week , maybe 2 , im looking for options on where to go next.
Looking for nice beaches , and easy access to fresh foods , not into night life or the resteraunt scene very much to be honest.
Thanks guys much appreciated
Want to split up my 3 weeks in vietnam , HCM and ??????

I'd say 1.5 weeks in either of those places is too long. Maybe you should plan for about 5 nights in HCMC and skip Vũng Tàu, which is kind of a nice place to live but doesn't have much to offer international tourists.
As for other beaches, you can look into Phu Quoc island, Con Đâu island, Nha Trang, Quy Nhơn and Đà Nẵng/Hội An.
Hopefully, someone can add more specific info. I actually haven't travelled that much in VN.
You should mention when you plan to visit.

Brown water is beautiful. The Mekong River is brown. Feeds the whole country.
I haven't seen brown water at the beach.
Saigon 4 days
Phu Quoc 3 days, probably get bored tho
Vung Tau 4 days, you will appreciate after Phu Quoc
Nha Trang 4 days OR
Da Lat 4 days (but maybe too cold and no beach)
Da Nang/Hoi An 5 days inc travel time

My suggestion is as following (including travelling time):
1.5 weeks in the North including Hanoi and other provinces such as Quang Ninh, Dien Bien ...;
6 days in Hue, Da Nang and nearby provinces;
6 days in HCMC and other provinces in Mekong Delta;
2 days in Da Lat.
Hope you enjoy yourself
