Bai Dai Beach

Bai Dai Beach is a long coastal beach stretching about 13 km along Cam Ranh Bay between Nha Trang and Cam Ranh in Khanh Hoa Province. Known for its fine white sand, clear shallow water and gentle slope, it is one of the longest beaches in central Vietnam. Formerly a restricted area, it has developed into a resort beach zone with luxury resorts while retaining long stretches of public sandy shoreline.

Visitors can expect a wide, long stretch of light-colored sand backed by casuarina trees and resort developments, with calm clear water in the dry season and open views across Cam Ranh Bay. The beach is largely undeveloped in public sections, with resort-managed areas offering sun loungers and services. Visitors can walk along the shoreline, swim, sunbathe and photograph the coastline and sunset over the bay.

Bai Dai area was formerly part of a restricted military zone associated with Cam Ranh Bay and was not open to public tourism for many years. From the early 2010s, the area was planned and developed as a major tourism and resort zone for Khanh Hoa Province, leading to the construction of large coastal resorts along the beach.
