Nha Trang Beach
The clear turquoise waters of Nha Trang’s 6km beach are best enjoyed during the dry season, from June to early October. During heavy rains, run-off from the rivers at each end of the beach flows into the bay, gradually turning it a murky brown. Most of the year, however, the sea is just like it appears in the brochures. Even in the wettest months, rain usually falls only at night or in the morning. The best beach weather is generally before 1pm, as the afternoon sea breezes can whip up the sand.

Fish Sauce Factory
So it’s not your average sightseeing attraction, but more than a few have enjoyed a visit to the distillery of Nuoc Mam Hung Thanh, the largest of Phu Quoc’s fish-sauce makers. At first glance, the giant wooden vats may make you think you’ve arrived for a wine tasting, but one sniff of the festering nuoc mam essence brings you right back to reality. It’s actually not so bad after a few minutes.
