Chợ Ba Ngòi
Short answer
Ba Ngoi is the main ward of Cam Ranh, covering 78.18 km² with about 31,700 residents as of 2024, and its market is the everyday trading centre for the southern half of the bay. The ward was created on 7 July 2000 when Cam Ranh city was formed, and absorbed Cam Phuoc Dong commune in June 2025. The market is a working local produce and seafood market rather than a tourist attraction.
