A relaxing day on the unspoilt coast east of Vung Tau: Ho Tram beach, Ho Coc's forest-fringed bay and a soak in the Binh Chau hot springs.
To escape the crowds of Back Beach, the Ho Tram – Ho Coc coastline is ideal: long sandy shores, blue water and primary forest right down to the sea.
After a morning swim and seafood lunch you head to Binh Chau hot springs, where you can boil eggs in the hot spring water, soak your feet and relax in a mineral bath before heading home.
