After Hoi An, we headed to the shores of the South China Sea for some beach time in Nha Trang and then Mui Ne. If you're totally over all the snow back home you might want to skip this one, before you start hating us.
The surf was a good deal rougher than in Thailand, and a bit cooler, but we were mostly just hanging on the beach here. In the case of most of Mui Ne the water comes right up to the rocks and there isn't much actual sand, but we had some loungers right on the water where we were staying.
We did get out one day to go snorkeling around the islands off of Nha Trang, and had some fun with the underwater camera.
This the fairy stream in Mui Ne and the first stop of a tour we took. It's a really cool geological sight with three different colors of sand and rock on one side and palm trees on the other with a stream running through. You can wade through some nearly waste deep water to get to a small waterfall towards the end. We went all the way to the waterfall and were 20 minutes late getting back to our driver who didn't seem to be amused.
It's a really fun walk.
We then stopped for a few minutes to look at all the fishing boats in the harbor in Mui Ne.
Mui Ne is surrounded by sand dunes. Next stop was the white sand dunes.
You can rent a piece of plastic and try to sled down the dunes, but it's hard to get any speed going. It's nothing like snow.
These are the red sand dunes which were our last stop on our tour...
where we caught sunset before heading back.
