🌊 What to Do in Mũi Né

🏄‍♂️ Ride the Wind – Kite Surfing & Windsurfing

Mũi Né is known as the kitesurfing capital of Southeast Asia. The strong, steady winds and warm water make it a paradise for both beginners and pros.

🏜️ Visit the White Sand Dunes (Đồi Cát Trắng)

Feel like you’re in the Sahara as you walk (or quad-bike!) across these stunning dunes. Sunrise here is magical—a favorite for photographers and peace-seekers alike.

🏖️ Relax on Mũi Né Beach

Soft sand, warm waves, and chill vibes. Rent a beach chair, order a fresh coconut, and forget about time.

🧗‍♂️ Explore the Red Sand Dunes

Smaller than the white dunes but closer to town, they glow in deep crimson hues at sunset. Grab a plastic sled from a local and slide your way down!

🏞️ Walk Through Fairy Stream (Suối Tiên)

This shallow, warm stream winds through striking red and white rock formations. You’ll walk barefoot through water surrounded by nature’s own sculpture garden.

🐟 Visit the Fishing Village

Wake up early to witness the lively morning market at the fishing harbor. Watch locals haul in the day’s catch in traditional basket boats.
