During the recent holiday, instead of choosing to relax at luxurious beachfront resorts and enjoy top-notch services, I chose to explore the beauty of the coast in my own way. To fully immerse myself in the sunshine and wind of the central coastal region, I rode my motorbike from Saigon to Mui Dinh, following the coastal road. This trip gave me the opportunity to discover the picturesque coastal road from Ca Na to Mui Dinh, one of the most stunning coastal routes, capable of captivating any traveler.
Starting from Saigon, my first destination was Ham Tien fishing village - Mui Ne.
Upon arriving at Ham Tien fishing village in Mui Ne, I stopped to rest, gazing out into the distance to embrace the freedom of the Binh Thuan sea. If you're not in a hurry, you can spend a day relaxing at one of the excellent resorts along the Mui Ne coastline.
The next morning, I set off for Bau Trang, a famous landmark in Binh Thuan.
Bau Trang, a freshwater lake in Binh Thuan province, is located about 62 km northeast of Phan Thiet city in Hoa Thang district. With its fascinating desert landscape and vast sand dunes, Bau Trang is a famous coastal road that attracts young people for photo opportunities. Here, you can admire endless stretches of sand desert that constantly change color throughout the day.

The stunning scenery along the way from Mui Ne to Phan Ri Cua will soothe the scorching, desert-like heat of summer.

After passing Bau Trang, we continued our journey from Phan Ri Cua to Ca Na. This route isn't particularly special as it's not a coastal road, and you have to drive on a section of national highway about 30km long. However, when you reach Ca Na, you should turn onto the Ninh Thuan coastal road to continue your journey to Mui Dinh. This section of road captivates travelers with its winding, turquoise coastline.
The Ca Na - Mui Dinh route is the stunning highlight of the entire journey.
There are many viewpoints along this winding mountain pass; stop and take some beautiful photos.
The scenery along the coastal road is fascinating.
On one side are towering cliffs, on the other is the crystal-clear blue sea.
So, we've finally arrived at Mũi Dinh.
Mui Dinh is a headland located in Thuan Nam district, Ninh Thuan province. It's a scenic spot 30km south of Phan Rang - Thap Cham city center. The area is almost uninhabited, thus retaining its rare, unspoiled natural beauty. Because of this, Mui Dinh maintains a peaceful atmosphere, offering a sense of calm and relaxation to those who happen to visit. You can venture further inland and explore the lighthouse at Mui Dinh.
A memorable trip of youth, how beautiful our country is!

Throughout the journey, I lost count of how many times I had to stop just to truly admire the beauty of Vietnam's landscapes. Traveling along the coastal road, I couldn't help but marvel at the majestic and poetic beauty that nature has bestowed upon this place. Mountains and sea combine harmoniously to create an impressive natural landscape. The winding road, bathed in the golden morning sunlight, becomes even more radiant.
