Dai Lanh Beach
One of the greatest beaches in Nha Trang, Dai Lanh stretches from a sizable fishing village in the north to the pure sandy beach in the south. Dai Lanh Beach is probably less common than other beaches in Nha Trang, but its beauty is not less exquisite to admire.

What’s more, Hon Noi is home to edible-nest swiftlets, an iconic symbol of Nha Trang. When you are at Hon Noi Beach, you can join typical beach activities, in addition to see the flocks of swiftlets circling around the island. This is such a unique experience that not many similar beach destinations have to offer.
When is the best time to visit?
When you look for the best beaches in Nha Trang for your next vacation, don’t forget to take note of the best time to travel. Although Nha Trang has generally mild weather, it may be challenging if you visit this coastal city and its beaches during some unfavorable months.
Like most of the regions in Central Vietnam, Nha Trang weather is hot and humid throughout the year. The best time to visit beaches in Nha Trang is the dry season, which occurs between January and September. Pleasant weather and low humidity make it easy for beach activities, such as swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling.
On the other hand, if your trip falls into Vietnam rainy season ̣(from October to December), you should be prepared for some unexpected situations. In case there is an extreme storm, trips to the islands might be canceled. If you visit city attractions, showers may force you to wear a raincoat. Looking on the bright side, you don’t have to be stuck in the crowd.
All in all, sunshine lovers will find Nha Trang beaches worth visiting in the dry season. Your dream vacation will be filled with postcardlike beaches and different beach sports. While your personal schedule couldn’t fit the dry season in Nha Trang, the rainy days may leave your trip unforgettable memories and it won’t be less interesting.
