Vung Tau is a famous beach resort near Ho Chi Minh City. It's very popular with tourist , especially on weekends or public holidays.

Vung Tau is an ideal town to go partying as it is full of sun, sand, surf, good cooking, beer... But the fun in Vung Tau doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Some even argue that that’s when it starts. 

Thuy Van St at night

The beach road is full of cafes, pool halls, and places where you can simply rent a beach chair and relax. It is quite good. Bars catering to sailors and oil workers are also found along the beach road. Tourist will have good time at the bars, clubs, lounges and live music venues in Vung Tau.

Vung Tau is attractive with several markets and older buildings. A stroll around is worthwhile during the cool hours of the early morning, late afternoon or night.

The nightlife is pretty active in the Back Beach and the Mulberry beach,  a quite ideal place for soul searching. Tourist could also visit the nearby lighthouse and the Giant Jesus. Other places worth seeing in this town are the Whale Temple and the Goddess of mercy or the Guan Yin Temple.

Vung Tau Beach Club is very interesting. It's here you can arrange kite surfing or windsurfing lessons and equipment hire. On Saturday and Sunday nights the racetrack opens - not horses, but dogs.  Food and drinks are available, and with betting starting with a small amounts of money, there's no need to worry about losing the house either.
