From Ho Chi Minh City to Highway 1A, over My Thuan Bridge, turning towards Sa Dec to Highway 80, onto the Vam Cong ferry to Rach Gia and continuing on Highway 80, we come to the land of Ha Tien after 320 kilometers. Ha Tien, on the coast of Vietnam, attracts people with its natural beauty and its mysterious legends. Mui Nai Beach is 10 kilometers from Ha Tien.
Mui Nai is one of ten beautiful landscapes of Ha Tien. People say that the name Mui Nai originates from a legend. Long ago a miraculous deer wandered onto the beach and couldn’t find his way home. The deer died of hunger and thirst and was swept away by a wave. Nowadays, if we stand on the opposite hill or sail on the sea and look back, we see a far away mountain that looks like a deer bending to take water.
Mui Nai, with its many peaceful hamlets and villages leaning against the mountain and shaded by rows of coconut trees, has become a popular eco-tourism site of the South.
There’s a 1 kilometer sand-bank in Mui Nai in fresh water. In summer, tourists from everywhere come to bathe in the sea or to go sightseeing. The sand here is dark brown mixed with black mud, soft and ideal for mud bathing.
Mui Nai has a tourism zone named Doi Nai Vang, or Golden Deer Hill. This is a construction combining both natural and man-made landscapes. Trees cast shadows on the path sloping gently to Doi Nai Vang. Nui Den, or Light Mountain, has a lighthouse belonging to the system of Phu Quoc-Mui Nai-Hon Khoai sea light. At sunset, or after a rain, Mui Nai looks so romantic with its sluggish waves spreading bubbles gently on the sand.
Mui Nai’s waves, wind and sand are waiting for you to enjoy.
