Thùy Vân Beach, also called Bãi Sau, is where locals and tourists come to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea. The waves are gentle, perfect for a swim, while the long sandy shore is great for a walk or just relaxing under an umbrella. Street vendors sell fresh seafood and cold coconuts, adding to the lively beach vibe. Whether you're here for a morning dip or a sunset stroll, Thùy Vân Beach always has something to offer.
Christ The King Statue

Standing tall on Núi Nhỏ (Small Mountain), the Jesus Christ Statue is one of Vũng Tàu’s most famous attractions. At 32 metres high, with outstretched arms spanning 18.4 metres, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. Visitors can climb over 800 steps to reach the statue, then continue inside to the top for an even more stunning view. The journey is rewarding, with fresh sea breezes and a peaceful atmosphere making it a must-visit spot in Vũng Tàu.
Thắng Tam

is a significant spiritual site in Vũng Tàu, dedicated to the three founders of the local fishing village. The temple features traditional Vietnamese architecture with intricate carvings, red-tiled roofs, and a peaceful courtyard. Inside, visitors can see sacred altars, statues, and offerings reflecting the deep-rooted beliefs of local fishermen. Nearby, there’s a whale temple (Lăng Cá Ông), where giant whale bones are displayed, symbolising protection and luck for seafarers. A visit to Thắng Tam Temple offers a glimpse into Vũng Tàu’s history, culture, and religious traditions.
White Palace

Originally used as a retreat for French governors and later as a royal residence, the palace features elegant European architecture, vintage furnishings, and scenic views of Front Beach. Walking up the tree-lined path to Bạch Dinh, visitors can admire historic artefacts, antique ceramics, and remnants of Vietnam’s colonial past. The blend of history, nature, and sea views
Mui Nghinh Phong
  • 45m
Nghinh Phong Cape is a breathtaking headland in Vũng Tàu, offering stunning ocean views and a refreshing sea breeze. Its name means "welcoming wind," and true to its name, the cape is a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. With the sea on three sides and mountains behind, it’s a favourite spot for nature lovers and photographers. The cape also leads to the hidden Vọng Nguyệt Beach, a quiet, unspoiled shoreline
