To the northeast of Phan Thiet, behind a picturesque coastal road that rises a hill to the ancient Cham tower, lies a long sandy beach washed by the waters of Mui Ne Bay .Being still 15-20 years ago, a quiet and dying fishing village, today the beach and the town of Muine turned into a popular developing resort, where thousands of lovers of the warm sea, bright sun and accompanying wind flock to .And speaking in Russian among these amateurs so much that you can hear more and more often how the village is called simply "Muynovka" .Choosing between the Red Sea (or rather the Egyptian Dahab) and South China (in the right corner of the ring the village of Mui Ne!), Domestic kite and windsurfers are increasingly inclined in favor of the latter .Despite the fact that fishermen still live in the east of the beach, most of the population of Mui Ne is made up of tourists, who, however, do not like the locals - the guests of the village are too aggressive to "grab" the territory .And all because the prices here are very democratic, seafood is abundant, the country is allowed without a visa, and the climate allows you to ride almost all year .

How to get here
Earlier, Mui Ne was a more isolated resort, the only way to get to which was considered an 11-kilometer route Hwy 1A through Phan Thiet. However, not so long ago a new road led to the beach from the north-east of Mui Ne to the eastern end of the beach, connecting with Hwy 1A halfway to Ca Na.
Tourist open buses from Ho Chi Minh City (6-8 dollars, on the way 4 hours), Nyachanga (6-8 dollars, 5 hours) through Ca Na (today, 60 thousand dong, 1, 5 hours) and Dalat (7-9 dollars, 5, 5 hours).
Local buses connect the center of Mui Ne to Phan Thiet, but the schedule is poor; as do the taxi-motorbike Se (xe om) for 50 thousand VND.

Infrastructure
The 15-kilometer Mui Ne beach includes a whole scattering of expensive hotel complexes, cozy budgetary boarding houses, cafes and shops, which, like pearls, are scattered along the shady streets of Nguyen Dinh Chieu. In this case, the resort center - Ham Tien - addresses are considered from 2 to 98 Nguyen Dinh Chieu,
Transport
Mui Ne is stretched along the coast for almost 15 km, so it's not a good idea to walk here on foot. A big bit of tourists are not afraid to use motobikes "se om" - a local version of a taxi, which can be "caught" in the street literally with a glance. The fare along the coast is about 10 thousand dong. In addition, you can rent a bicycle (about $ 2 per day) or a scooter (up to $ 10 per day).
Kite and surfing
In Mui Ne, absolutely no diving or snorkeling, but there is something more interesting: when there are heavy rains in Nha Trang or Hoi An, only waves are rising in Mui Ne. But what waves - the most correct, strong, long, on which you can not only learn, but also practice professional tricks. The best time for the surf is from August to December, for windsurfing - from the end of October to the end of April. At the same time, the winds are blowing steadily from 11 am and almost to sunset, in some places the waves rise to 4 meters and higher.
Rent equipment can be in many shops and hotels, there to ask the instructor, his services will not be expensive: from $ 70 per hour, a package for beginners of 7 lessons - $ 350.
