NINH THUAN – With a stretch of white sand beach and blue sea, Mui Dinh is a destination that can satisfy the most discerning tourists.

Mui Dinh located in Ninh Phuoc district still has the wild and majestic features of nature with each rocky mountain jutting out into the blue sea, arranged in a fancy shape. This cape is remote, the road is not convenient.

Visitors can choose any means of transportation to Ninh Thuan. If traveling by plane, the nearest airport is Cam Ranh. At Mui Dinh, to feel all the beauty of nature, you should ride a motorbike, admire the coastal road DT701 with one side of majestic mountains, the other side is the immense sea. On the way, you cross Nam Cuong sand dunes , one of the most beautiful sand dunes in Vietnam.

Bai Trang is considered one of the most ideal places for camping with its long white sand beach, clear sea water that can see the bottom. Setting up a tent on the beach, visitors will be immersed in the vast space of heaven and earth. The sound of waves crashing, the starry night sky above, you will be able to fully watch both the sunset and the sunrise on the horizon.

Besides Bai Trang, Mui Dinh Lighthouse is also a must-see, at an altitude of more than 170 m above sea level. To reach Mui Dinh lighthouse, visitors take about 5 minutes to walk through small mountains, to a winding slope about 1 km long. Because the road is quite steep and the sun in Ninh Thuan is fierce, visitors should go early in the morning, bring small water bottles and snacks.

Built during the French period, today’s Mui Dinh lighthouse still holds the responsibility of asserting sovereignty over the sea and islands and illuminating the way for offshore boats to return safely. The higher you stand, the more you will be overwhelmed by the amazing beauty of Mui Dinh’s nature, especially at sunset. At that time, the sun disappeared behind the horizon, each patch of color in the sky mixed with the sea surface as if to adorn the magnificence of nature.

On the main road, there are many water stalls, rice shops that open parking and luggage services. At the same time, there is also a rental service for tents, showers and toilets. The beach has a place to look after motorbikes and keep things, so you can rest assured when camping here. This location is also near Nam Cuong sand dunes, Hon Do , Ca Na beach if you have time.
