Nha Trang Beach
Forming a magnificent sweeping arc, Nha Trang's 6km-long golden sand beach is the
city's trump card. Various sections are designated for swimmers, where you won't be
bothered by jetskis or boats. The turquoise water is fabulously inviting, and the promen-
ade a delight to stroll.
Two popular lounging spots are the Sailing Club and Louisiane Brewhouse. If you head
south of here, the beach gets quieter and it's possible to find a stretch of sand to yourself.

Po Nagar Cham Towers
(Thap Ba, Lady of the City; admission 21,000d; 6am-6pm)
Built between the 7th and 12th cen-
turies, these four Cham Towers are still actively used for worship by Cham, ethnic
Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhists. Originally the complex had seven or eight towers, but
only four towers remain, of which the 28m-high North Tower (Thap Chinh; AD 817) -
with its terraced pyramidal roof, vaulted interior masonry and vestibule - is the most mag-
nificent.
The towers stand on a granite knoll 2km north of central Nha Trang on the banks of the
Cai River.
Long Son Pagoda
( 7.30-11.30am & 1.30-5.30pm)
This striking pagoda was founded in the late 19th
century. The entrance and roofs are decorated with mosaic dragons constructed of glass
and ceramic tile while the main sanctuary is a hall adorned with modern interpretations of
traditional motifs.
