First let’s start with the beaches in and around NhaTrang. NhaTrang beach runs for miles. The sand is soft and fine. Some of the local businesses have set up loungers and large umbrellas that you can rent and spend some relaxing hours enjoying the ocean. Just down the beach not too far away you will find all kinds of water sports form Sea Doo rentals to parasailing and kayaking. You can have a relaxing massage right on the beach and make purchases from the many vendors that travel back and forth looking for customers. The water is pleasant and there are workers that do their best to keep the area clean. There is a second beach to the north just a few kilometers That is
smaller and the drop off is more gradual making for warmer waters and more gentle waves. There are no loungers or water sports at the moment making it a great place to enjoy the natural state of a beautiful beach. Only a towel and swim suit required there.
Some of the best restaurants you will even experience in Vietnam are located in NhaTrang. Just one or two blocks from the Main beach area, you will find many foreign restaurants that serve food of surprisingly good quality. I am not exaggerating when I say that one of the best steaks you could ever have 
is right here in NhaTrang… and that is saying a lot as I am from Alberta where the beef is supposed to be among the best in the world. You can find everything from Pizza and Italian, Russian, German, Mexican, North American, European, French, and of course, Vietnamese. Up in the northern beach you will find some of the finest seafood restaurants in all of Vietnam, and at a price that will have you grinning.
NhaTrang also boasts a lot of nightlife. Up in the northern beach area, the evening rocks with local Vietnamese and some tourists. There are coffee clubs and Disco clubs, some which offer live music. The Vietnamese people dress up in their most
appealing attire to attend and it is like watching a sea of beautiful. The main tourist area has night spots, local watering holes and loud banging discos that can keep the partier entertained until the wee hours.
Motorcycle and bicycle rentals are everywhere so getting around is a snap. There is also a bus system that is very frequent and can get you anywhere. Taxi’s also are very convenient. There are tour offices everywhere and most hotels can 
arrange any trips you are interested in, and there are a lot of them. There are also a lot of historic sights and amusements. The following may be copied from other sites and modified a bit by me
The National Oceanographic Museum of Vietnam is like an aquarium with popular and rare species of the sea. A perfect place to bring kids as they will get to see sharks, turtles, coral reefs, lionfish, sea horses, and many other creatures
The pagoda was established in 1963 to honor the monks and nuns who died demonstrating against the Diem government.
Po Nagar Cham Towers These towers were built by the Cham civilization between the 7th and 12th century to honor Yang Ino Po Ngar, mother of the kingdom. The local Buddhists of Nha Trang occupied this place for prayers and worshipping, and there are many incense lighted g

Long Thanh Photo Studio
Long Thanh is a local photographer with a permanent exhibition gallery open to the public. This is a popular visiting spot for people who appreciate life as seen through a lens. To date, Long Thanh has exhibited at more than 57 different photographic exhibitions around the world including Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States. Long Thanh’s photographic repertoire is as wide-ranging as it is unique. His landscapes are often moody, contrasting the natural beauty of Vietnam with the continuing struggle in many people’s daily lives. Well worth checking out. 126 Hoang Van Thu St.
Boat Cruises
Nha Trang is flanked by 71 islands and the sea at most times of year is crystal clear so the plethora of boat trips daily heading out plus the easy availability of booking agents is self-explanatory. Trips are not expensive and are more often than not party cruises but with a fair amount of snorkeling and fishing fitted in between the drinking. Check whether lunch is included or not and compare deals before booking. If you are not an extremely
fisher folk
early riser then charter a boat the day before. Most hotels can handle the booking but the place to book in person is the Cau Da Dock
Mud Baths
The mud baths at Thap Ba natural hot springs are a healthy and fun way to spend a few hours. The best time of day to go is between 12:00 and 15:00 when they are less crowded. You will be offered single or shared mud baths and obviously the single ones are more expensive yet the communal tubs are more fun. Shower off in mineral-rich water afterwards or let the mud dry on you first for additional benefits before showering.
Small bridge
Diving & SnorkelingNha Trang has over 20 dive shops, so this is a buyer’s market and divers looking for certification will find that the value for money here is superb, with PADI open water courses available with full equipment rental for as little as US$200. A two-dive boat trip with equipment rental and modest lunch can be had for as little as US$25.
Vinpearl Water Park and Aquarium
Vinpearl is a resort located on Hon Tre (Bamboo Island) some three kilometres south of the port. It is connected to the mainland by the longest cable car in the world (in itself a pretty impressive experience) that transports visitors some 40 metres above sea level to the resort, its water

park, games park and an aquarium, as well as a spa. Prices are reasonable and the water park closes at 18:00
Yang Bay waterfall, 48 km from Nha Trang, consists of three sets of falls — Yang Bay, Yang Khang, and Ho Cho. It’s a well-developed tourist spot and a regular stop for Vietnamese on group tours, but it’s still worth seeking out on your own. The main falls have been heavily modified, and some swimming areas have been artificially created, but the effect is fairly natural and quite beautiful. It’s a great spot for swimming
Raglai ethnic village
Part of what makes the trip worthwhile is that the last half courses through some really stunning countryside, and the last few kilometres before the falls passes by a Raglai ethnic village.
Finally a mall being built
Dien Khanh Citadel
This site is actually a stop on some tour itineraries. While it doesn’t really merit seeking out for it’s own sake, you’ll pass through it on the way to Yang Bay falls. After you turn off Route 1 on the way to the falls you’ll pass through two gates, about two stories high, which are all that remain of an 18th century citadel. They have guard towers above the archways, and a couple metres of old earthen ramparts — they’re so narrow traffic can only pass through in one direction at a time, controlled by traffic lights.
Bai Dai
(which means ‘long beach’ and is pronounced ‘bye-yai‘). It’s 19 km from the outskirts of Nha Trang, to the south, along the relatively new road that cuts through the coastal mountains to the Cam Ranh Airport. The beach is a long, beautiful stretch of sand that extends for ten kilometres or more along an arc-shaped bay.
Other activities include white water rafting, day fishing trips, Bicycle tours, and more that I am sure I am forgetting.
