South (Bãi Dài · Cam Ranh)

The southern part of Nha Trang is a tranquil resort area centered around Cam Ranh Airport and Bai Dai Beach (Long Beach). Instead of the hustle and bustle of the city, this area features quiet white sandy beaches, large resorts, and golf courses, making it ideal for relaxation and leisure.

Bai Dai Beach stretches for several kilometers with pristine white sands, where 5-star resorts coexist with affordable seafood stalls. Nearby links courses, such as KN Golf Links Cam Ranh, are well-developed, allowing visitors to enjoy both beach relaxation and golf.

If you're looking for water activities, head to the islands in Cam Ranh Bay. Binh Ba Island is a fishing village famous for its lobsters, while Binh Lap Peninsula, known as the 'Maldives of Vietnam,' and the southern Binh Hung Island are beloved for their clear waters and snorkeling opportunities.

Recommended Itinerary

Bai Dai's resort belt is perfect for resting on your first day upon arrival or the day before departure. If you have a full day to spare, take a half-day boat trip to Binh Ba or Binh Hung Island and finish with fresh seafood.

Practical Tips

• Transportation: It takes 15–30 minutes by car from Cam Ranh Airport to Bai Dai resorts and 40–50 minutes to Nha Trang city center. Since it's far from the city, rely on resort shuttles or Grab for transportation.
• Pricing: Seafood at stalls along Bai Dai Beach tends to be cheaper than in the city. Always negotiate and check market prices for lobsters.
• Golf: Make reservations in advance and confirm caddy tips beforehand.
• Island Tours: Binh Ba and Binh Hung Islands pass through military-controlled areas, so bring your passport. Boat schedules may be canceled due to weather conditions.
