This post on how to get to the Mui Ne Sand Dunes may sound complicated but the truth is that is really easy. If I can sum it up in one sentence, it will be this: start from the Mui Ne Fishing Harbor, make the first left turn, then left turn again after a traffic light and then finally right turn at a roundabout…

I must give credit to my friend Bennett from Good Morning Vietnam for this post on Kim Loan Restaurant in Mui Ne. He wrote so many good things about Kim Loan Restaurant that I had to check it out during my recent trip to Mui Ne. And I have to agree on most of his review. The 2 points that I can’t agree are because I didn’t get to experience them…

One of the best things about Mui Ne, arguably Vietnam’s best beach resort destination, is this: it is laid out in a long strip along a main street, with mainly the resort and hotels on one side (along the beach) and bars, restaurants and shops on the other. This means it’s very easy to move around. More importantly, when it comes to food, accommodation and entertainment in Mui Ne, you are spoiled for choice with this 10km stretch…

Before I show you how you can ride your way to the Mui Ne Fishing Harbor, allow me to share this BEAUTIFUL time lapse video with you. This will explain why this fishing harbor is my favorite attraction in Mui Ne…

Following a tip from Bennett of Good Morning Vietnam, I went to check out Lam Tong Restaurant, aka Popular Restaurant, of Mui Ne. Bennett recommended the seafood and in his words ‘for fantastic and cheap seafood – value for $$$ – go to Popular Restaurant’. But being a budget backpacker, I went for the budget food and here’s what I returned with…

It’s very easy to find Suoi Tien. The trick is to look out for a certain bridge. Here’s how:

First, we start from the Hai Au Resort (circled in red), or the Seagull Hotel, which is at the 18.2km mark or 32 Huynh Thuc Khang Street. From here, just ride straight up towards the direction of Phan Thiet Town…

Came across Hai Yen Hotel during my recent trip to Mui Ne. Nice overall hotel or resort accommodation in Mui Ne with friendly staffs, beachfront location and best of all- a swimming pool. I asked for the cheapest room and was quoted US$13 with fan but no TV although I’ve heard, during my stay there, them charging the others US$10 with no bathroom (mine came with attached bathroom). The room is quite ok but you may find some ants crawling around and a few mosquitoes every now and then. I won’t complain given the overall package that Hai Yen Hotel provides at $13…

Mui Ne’s Po Shanu Cham Towers is about 5 km out of Mui Ne, on the road towards Phan Thiet. If you are riding on your own, ask the locals and most should be able to point you in the right direction. Just remember to emphasize that it’s Mui Ne’s Cham Towers and not the Phan Rang Cham Towers which is 130km away
