Mini Beach – A Peaceful Oasis in the Heart of Nha Trang
Nha Trang Bay truly lives up to its reputation as Vietnam’s “island paradise.” No matter how many times you visit, there’s always something new to discover among the pristine beaches around this area. If you’re looking for a day trip to experience the natural beauty of Nha Trang, Mini Beach (Hon Mieu) is an ideal suggestion, even loved by the locals. Located less than a 15-minute canoe ride from Nha Trang’s city center, you can step onto a secluded island with clear waters and plenty of exciting things to explore.
