Phan Thiet City is a coastal city, the provincial capital of Binh Thuan Province, in the South of the Central Coast of Vietnam. Phan Thiet is among the most popular destination for beach holidays in Vietnam thanks to possessing fine sand beaches and luxury resorts nestled in evergreen palm forests.

Endowed with stunning natural landscapes, Phan Thiet Mui Ne and the surrounding regions are not known enough to the foreign travellers to Vietnam. Tourist infrastructure and luxury properties are available at Phan Thiet and Mui Ne only, while much of the rest of the coastline of Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan Provinces is of deserted beaches.

Travellers to Phan Thiet and Mui Ne could spend a few days to a whole month on the beach and for exploring the surrounding area. It's recommended to take a full day safari into the desert of Mui Ne, and a morning tour to catch sunrise over the fishing village of Mui Ne. Besides, you can visit the White Sand Dune (Bau Trang) in the morning and cycle through the nearby countryside in the afternoon. At weekends, some restaurants offer barbecue seafood right on the beach.

Phan Thiet Geography

The coastline, which is to the south of Phan Thiet, is like an arc from southwest to the northeast. One end of the arc is at Cape Ke Ga (Mui Ke Ga, Ke Ga Bay) and the other end is at Cape Mui Ne. Ke Ga does not belong to Phan Thiet but Mui Ne does. The city has two rivers: the Ca Ty River running northwest-southeast and the Phu Hai River running mostly north-south.
