Quy Nhon
Quy Nhơn is a calm coastal city in central Vietnam. It has a long city beach, quiet bays to the north and old Cham towers inland. The city sees far fewer visitors than Nha Trang or Da Nang, so beaches are quiet outside the main season.
Most visitors stay two to three nights. Days are for Eo Gió, Kỳ Co and Ghềnh Ráng. Evenings are for seafood on the beachfront.
