Built
along the banks of the Phan Thiet River, the
town has a colorful harbor full of boats and
a quiet beach with long stretches of fine golden
sand. To the east are the famous sand dunes of
Mui Ne Beach, which stretch for more than 16
kilometers, providing excellent walking.
The ancient temples of the Cham people, built
during the 15th century, are located between Phan
Thiet and Mui Ne cape. The Cham ethnic minority
is one of the oldest ethnic groups in Vietnam
and well known for their construction skills.
Fishing along side the Kega Lighthouse, constructed
by the French in 1899, is a favorite pastime for
locals and tourists alike as well as horse back
riding along Phan Thiet’s beaches.
