Beaches
Bai Dai (Long Beach)
Bãi Dài
Short answer
Bai Dai is the long, fine-sand beach on the coast between Cam Ranh International Airport and Nha Trang, in the Cam Lam area of Khanh Hoa province. Vietnamese Wikipedia places it about 12 km from the airport and about 10 km from Nha Trang, reached along Nguyen Tat Thanh Boulevard over the Dong Bo range. Its name comes from the very wide sand flat that is exposed at low tide.
Why go
- The closest good swimming beach to Cam Ranh airport - about 12 km, so it works even on a short layover
- A long, open sweep of fine sand that stays far less crowded than Nha Trang city beach
- At low tide the sea pulls back to expose an unusually wide sand flat, good for walking and photographs
- The Nguyen Tat Thanh coastal boulevard along it is one of the best drives in the province
- Simple local shelters and seafood shacks sit alongside the big resort developments
How to get there
Drive north from Cam Ranh International Airport on Nguyen Tat Thanh Boulevard (the coastal road towards Nha Trang); the beach starts roughly 12 km along. Taxi or Grab from the airport, or the airport bus towards Nha Trang.
Local tips
- Check the tide before you go - Vietnamese Wikipedia notes high water covers the bathing areas for about half the year
- Public access points sit between the resorts; look for the gaps with local parking rather than driving into a resort gate
- The far northern end is the windiest and is where kite riders set up in the winter wind season
