The Better Beach in Nha Trang: Discover Hon Chong Beach

Hon Chong Beach in Nha Trang is a coastal destination known for its stunning natural beauty and unique geological formations. Here, visitors can experience a picturesque seascape characterized by rugged rocks and clear turquoise waters. Location: Located about 4 kilometers north from Nha Trang city center, it is an easy ride to get to by a cab or a motorbike along the main coastal road. Hon Chong boasts a large area of rocks with a variety of unique shapes lying on the shore. It is surrounded by the mountains and highlighted by the serene beach with an incredible shade of gentle blue. Hon Chong Beach is sheltered from the impact of the wind by several multi-sized islands offshore. Hence, it is considered a safe place for tourists to visit. Even during rainy season when Nha Trang beach is very windy with high waves, there are days when Hon Chong beach is still very calm, almost lake-like. It is a great place to practice swimming and when there are waves, for surfing. The Promontory: Hon Chong Promontory comprises two clusters of rocks. One is called Hon Chong (meaning “Husband” in Vietnamese) and the other is Hon Vo (meaning “Wife” in Vietnamese). Hon Chong cluster is the larger one which features an intriguing giant five-fingered hand embedded on a boulder. Notably, the layout of rocks at Hon Chong is rather unusual. The stones naturally sit on one another, which creates layers of rocks that can withstand the fierceness of the climate and the sea for years to come. Additionally, at Hon Chong Promontory Nha Trang, you will find two rocks standing upright with another big rock stuck in between that looks like a big stone gate. Opening hours & entrance fee: The Hon Chong beach is always open and free but to view the rocks, there is an entrance fee. This area is open for visitors from 7am to 7pm every day, but it is usually most crowded between 4-5pm. The ticket price is currently 22,000 VND/adult and 11,000 VND/child. From the rock, you can enjoy a picturesque view of neighboring islets and the crescent-shaped Nha Trang Beach. #beachlife #vietnamtrip #view #nhatrang #beach #ocean #localguides #landmark
