Overview
On Van Phong Bay near Ninh Hoa, Doc Let runs 18km of flour-fine sand into jade shallows that stay waist-deep a hundred meters out. Its emptiness — local families and few tourists — is the luxury; beach resorts sell day passes (sunbed and pool, VND 100,000-200,000) for facilities. The road passes the Hon Khoi salt fields, and pairing a dawn salt-harvest stop with a beach morning makes the area's finest half-day.
