Jibes
Unofficial HQ of the kitesurfing brigade, this beachside cafe-bar is a relaxing place for a drink, but it quietens down by night when the party crowd is elsewhere. It also offers surf lessons and rents out state-of-the-art gear like windsurfers (one hour/half-day/full-day US$12/30/45), surfboards (one hour/half-day/full-day US$7.50/15/25), kitesurfers (one hour/half-day/full-day US$50/100/140) and kayaks (one hour/half-day/full-day US$5/13/25). Insurance is extra.

Fairy Spring
The Fairy Spring is really a stream that flows through a patch of dunes with interesting sand and rock formations. It's a beautiful trek wading up the stream from the sea to its source, though it might be wise to hire a local guide. You can do the trek barefoot, but if you're heading out into the big sand dunes, you'll need leather soles on your feet; sandals are even questionable during the midday sun.

Po Shanu Cham Towers
Po Shanu Cham Towers occupies a hill near Phan Thiet, with sweeping views of the town and a cemetery filled with candylike tombstones. Dating from the 9th century, this complex consists of the ruins of three towers, none of which are in very good shape. There’s a small pagoda on the site, as well as a gallery and shop.

Hoa Vien Brauhaus
Freshly brewed draft Pilsner Urquell is the big draw here, although it feels a bit different to be sipping it overlooking the South China Sea. The huge restaurant offers some Czech and international dishes, as well as a good selection of Vietnamese food and a dizzying array of live seafood (thankfully not served live, in most cases).

Snow
This is an ubertrendy place by Mui Ne standards, finished in minimalist white and popular with Russians who may be missing the snow of a cold winter. One of the only places offering sushi and sashimi, it also has international and Vietnamese offerings. Free pick-ups from your hotel.

Le Chasseur Blanc
Ostensibly the leading French restaurant in Mui Ne, but as well as serving succulent steaks and duck, it also offers some unexpected meats such as crocodile, kangaroo and ostrich. Artfully decorated, there is also free wi-fi for customers, plus a pool table.

Saigon Cafe
Great Vietnamese BBQ food in a basic setting, with profundities written on the walls in beautiful calligraphy - although we suspect 'It is still very good if you can learn by your mistake to like butter' may have lost something in the translation.

Hoang Vu
Like many successful businesses in Vietnam, this one has cloned itself into two restaurants. The menu is predominantly Asian, with Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai tastes on offer. The setting is very atmospheric and the service attentive.

Peaceful Family Restaurant
A long-running local restaurant, the family here serve up traditional Vietnamese cuisine under a breezy thatched roof. Prices have remained fairly stable here, while other places have been rounding them up, making it a good bet.

Luna d’Autunno
A sophisticated Italian restaurant, Luna is well represented in the region from Hanoi to Phnom Penh. Prices are higher than most in Mui Ne, but the pizzas and pastas are authentic and the seafood specials have an Italian twist.

Pogo
A little way from the main action, it is worth hopping along to Pogo for the chilled atmosphere. The open-air bar features lively decoration, free pool, some sorted sounds and big beanbags for crashing on.

Lam Tong
It doesn’t look like much, sandwiched in between the fancy-pants resorts of Mui Ne, but this family-run beachfront restaurant serves some of the best food in town. Fresh seafood is popular and affordable – the place is always busy with a mix of travellers and locals. There are also some tables right on the sand.
