Things to Do in Cam Ranh

Lively local market in the town centre selling fresh seafood, produce and household goods. No entry charge.

🕐 05:00-12:00 daily

💡 Head to the cooked food section at lunch for a cheap bowl of bun ca (fish noodle soup) for under 20,000 VND.

Public ferry from Cam Ranh port to Binh Ba Island. Costs 30,000 VND one way — a bargain trip across the bay.

🕐 06:00-16:00 daily

💡 Time your return for the last ferry at 16:00. Miss it and you're stuck on the island overnight.

🕐 06:00-18:00 daily

💡 Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees). A donation box near the incense burner — 5,000 VND is fine.

Long, undeveloped stretch of white sand with clear, calm water for swimming. Public access with no entry fee.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Arrive before 8am to avoid heat and crowds. Bring your own umbrella — shade is scarce.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Go at sunset for the best light. Wear sturdy shoes — the trail can be loose gravel.
