During the recent holiday, instead of choosing to stay at luxurious sea-view resorts and fully enjoy the high-class services, I chose to explore the beauty of the sea in my own way. To be able to fully immerse myself in the sun and wind of the Central coastal route, I traveled by motorbike from Saigon to Mui Dinh, following the coastal road. This trip gave me the opportunity to explore the picturesque coastal road from Ca Na to Mui Dinh, one of the most beautiful coastal routes, enough to fascinate any backpacker.
Departing from Saigon, my first destination was Ham Tien fishing village - Mui Ne.
Arriving at Ham Tien fishing village - Mui Ne, I stopped to rest, looked far away to embrace the freedom of the Binh Thuan sea. If you are not in a hurry, you can spend a day to rest at the resorts with very good services along the Mui Ne coast.
The next morning, I went to Bau Trang, a famous place in Binh Thuan.
Bau Trang, a freshwater lake in Binh Thuan province, is about 62 km northeast of Phan Thiet city, located in Hoa Thang district. With interesting desert terrain and vast sand dunes, Bau Trang is a famous sea crossing route, attracting young people to check in. Here, you will admire the endless sand deserts that change color continuously at different times of the day.

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

After Bau Trang, I continued my journey from Phan Ri Cua - Ca Na. This route is actually nothing special because it is not a coastal road and you have to drive on a 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 road captivates the hearts of backpackers with its winding road along the turquoise coastline.
The Ca Na - Mui Dinh route is the beautiful highlight of the whole journey.
There are many viewpoints along this winding mountain pass, stop and take some nice photos.

On one side is a towering cliff, on the other side is a clear blue sea.
So I arrived at Mui Dinh.
Mui Dinh is a cape in Thuan Nam district, Ninh Thuan province. This is a paradise 30km south of Phan Rang - Thap Cham city center. There are almost no residents here, so it still retains the rare wildness of a paradise. That is why Mui Dinh still retains its peacefulness, creating a gentle, relaxing feeling for those who accidentally set foot here. You can go deep inside and explore the lighthouse at Mui Dinh.
A memorable trip of youth, our country is so beautiful!

During the journey, I had to stop countless times just to admire the beauty of Vietnam's mountains and rivers. Walking along the coastal road, I couldn't help but admire the majestic and poetic beauty that nature bestowed upon this place. Mountains and sea combine harmoniously to create an impressive natural picture. The winding road under the golden morning sunlight becomes even more brilliant.
