Personal experience. Despite the shortcomings, it was on Nha Trang Beach that we came every day. What is the secret of the popularity of this beach? It's simple: it is the most affordable. The bulk of the hotels are concentrated along it, so it is more convenient for tourists to relax on the city beach of Nha Trang. In addition, it is clean and you can always rent a sunbed. And as for a large number of people, you can always go a little further, where there are fewer tourists - for example, to a building in the shape of a lotus. In addition, we really liked that the exercise machines were free to use on the waterfront.
Dream Beach
A section of the city beach called Dream Beach is located in Gorky Park in Nha Trang. This is a kind of center of Russian life with swimming pools, cafes, attractions and other entertainments. Here you can have a cup of coffee, eat a plate of borscht, watch a movie and swim in the pool. Some tourists consider it to be the best beach in Nha Trang. The park is open from 9 am to 6 pm. You can get to the beach by buses 2, 4 and 5.

- There is a VIP area with soft sun loungers, lockers and other benefits of civilization.
Minuses

Zoklet Beach (Doc Let)
Zoklet is perhaps the most advertised beach in Nha Trang. It is considered by many to be the best in the resort. It is a typical bounty beach with white powdery sand, sparse palm trees along the coast and turquoise waters. Located almost 50 km from Nha Trang. To get to this beach, you need to book an excursion or rent a bike, you can also get there by bus # 3. There are hotels, restaurants and shops on the beach. Renting a sun lounger will cost from 100 thousand dongs.

- According to tourists, seafood is deliciously cooked on Zoklet, moreover, inexpensively.
Minuses
- Zoklet beach is located far from Nha Trang, and it will be difficult to get there without personal transport, especially if you are on vacation with children. The road to the beach will take at least 1.5 hours, so the taxi option is no longer expensive. The cheapest way is by bus, the most convenient (for us, at least) is by bike.
- Most of the services are paid - you will have to pay for parking and renting a sun lounger. Parking costs about VND 5,000.
- There is a toilet in the free part of the beach, which we strongly advise against entering!
Personal experience. Despite all the rave reviews, we were not particularly impressed by the Zoklet beach. We were at the free part and found a lot of rubbish on the sand and the pesky owners of coastal cafes. The paid part of the beach is being removed. The sea is too shallow but clean. In general, the place is pretty, but the second time we would not have come here - too far and for a long time. They wrote that there are salt fields on the way, but we never saw them.
Paragon beach
Among the best beaches in Nha Trang, tourists also include Paragon Beach, which is located in the southern side of the resort, not far from the cable car to Winperl Island. You can get here by public transport (bus number 4) or taxi. The beach belongs to the Paragon hotel, so the entrance fee is 20 thousand dongs (55 rubles). Lounger rental - 60 thousand dong.
Paragon Beach is very popular with families. The sandy strip is narrow, but the sand is fine and soft. The fences play their role - there are never high waves here, like on the central beach of Nha Trang.
pros
- This beach is perfect for children - there are no high waves, shallow water warms up well.
- The beach is located in the prosperous An Vienne district of Nha Trang - there are luxurious villas around, so leisurely walks at sunset will bring a lot of aesthetic pleasure to vacationers.
Minuses
- The beach is small and gives the impression of being crowded. You have to pay for the entrance and sun loungers. There are not enough sun beds for everyone.
- There are no shops, cafes or entertainment. Dine in the Paragon's restaurant.
- Shallow water.
Bãi Dài beach
Bai Zai is a semi-wild beach, located 20 km from Nha Trang, on the site of a former military base. You can get from the city by taxi or bike in 15 minutes. The beach is long, almost 15 km long, with a gentle entrance and calm clear water. In the autumn-winter period, small waves rise.
pros
- White sand, pleasant to the touch, clear water and smooth depth. An ideal place for romantics and lovers of secluded relaxation, locals rarely drop in here, and fishermen can be seen only in the morning and evening hours.
Minuses
- The infrastructure is still underdeveloped. Nobody removes natural waste. Part of the coast has already been bought by well-known hotel chains.
- In places the beach has become polluted and crowded.
Personal experience. We visited a deserted part of the beach - it is very calm and peaceful there, there was not a soul around. Some elite hotel was being rebuilt nearby.
