We practically lived on the beach during our 4 month stay in Nha Trang. We lived right upstairs and came down all day, everyday. If you really want to know how the Vietnamese beach dwellers live, Then come here either during the morning or after 5pm. The hottest times reserved for the foreigners and Russian and love that get that burnt to a crips feel. Jokes aside we loved this beach. Go swimming, go tanning, play soccer or just people watch. When the low tides come in it’s cool to walk out but be careful of the coral to the very right side of the beach where their tend to be less people.

There were no stands by the beach, but there are some sun loungers and plenty of cafés and restaurants across the street. If you're staying in central Nha Trang, it's definitely worth getting a Grab and go there instead of Nha...
