Mui Ne Information
Mui Ne is a coastal resort
town in Binh Thuan Province, Vietnam, located on an arm
of the South China Sea. The town is close to the city of
Phan Thiet. Tourism has transformed Mui Ne into a resort
destination since 1995, when many visited to view the
total solar eclipse of October 24, 1995.
Mui Ne Beach is a popular tropical beach. Strong sea
breezes make it very popular for kitesurfing and
windsurfing.
The tourist season is from December to May. The average
temperature is 27C, and the climate is hot and dry for
most of the year.
How to get there
East of Phan Thiet the
road passes through Dragon fruit plantations, finally
climbing over the slope of a Cham-Tower-topped hill and
descending onto the long, sandy crescent of Mui Ne Bay.
The formerly scarcely inhabited beach south of the
fishing village of Mui Ne proper has seen some serious
development in the last 15 years, leading to a 15km long
strip of resorts that line up like pearls on the shady
street lined with coconut palms. Addresses are
frequently specified by giving the distance from Phan
Thiet in kilometers.
Open Tour buses between Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang
have a regular lunch-stop in Mui Ne. Furthermore, public
buses from both destinations service the place. You can
also take the train to or from Ho Chi Minh City to Phan
Thiet which is a short taxi ride from Mui Ne.
