D. VnToYou Advice
“For a real local experience, we suggest spending about 30 minutes here during your morning Jeep tour. If you like seafood, this is the freshest place to find it. Just be careful with your shoes as the beach can be a bit messy with nets and shells. It’s a great spot to see the ‘real’ Mui Ne before it gets too hot.”
