About Ninh Chu Beach
Ninh Chu Beach is a 10-kilometre crescent-shaped sandy beach in Khanh Hai, Ninh Hai District, Khanh Hoa Province (formerly Ninh Thuan Province) on Vietnam's south-central coast. Located about 6 km east of Phan Rang–Thap Cham, it is known for calm, clear turquoise water, fine white-yellow sand, and gentle waves. Fringed by casuarina trees and backed by resorts, it forms part of the Vinh Hy–Nui Chua coastal area and is valued for swimming and scenic coastal views.
