Some litter blights the scene, but the 10km-long beach is attractive and makes a quieter alternative to Phan Rang as a base for visiting the Cham ruins. There are new resort hotels are springing up around the bay.
Hotel resorts are scattered along the shoreline. Budget accommodation is concentrated at the north end of the bay, where there’s a fishing village and a row of beachfront seafood restaurants.
