Mui Ne
A fishing village on the Binh Thuan coast that grew into a beach town, known for its sand dunes and for the wind that made it a kitesurfing centre.
Highlights
- The White Sand Dunes at sunrise, above a lake fringed with casuarina trees
- The Red Sand Dunes at sunset, a short drive from town
- The Fairy Stream, walked barefoot between red and white sandstone banks
- Mui Ne fishing harbour, full of round basket boats in the early morning
- Kitesurfing from about November to April, when the wind is steadiest
Best time to visit
November to April is dry and windy. May to October is greener with short rains.
