Mui Ne Beach Getting there & around

Getting there & away

It used to be that Mui Ne was quite isolated and could only be approached by an 11km diversion from Hwy 1A through Phan Thiet. Recently a new road has opened, heading northeast from the eastern end of the beach, connecting back to Hwy 1A halfway to Ca Na. This scenic stretch, past deserted beaches and a beautiful lake ringed with water lilies, greatly reduces the northward journey and allows the open-tour buses to pass through Mui Ne without backtracking.

These buses are the best option for Mui Ne, and Sinh Café and Hanh Café both have daily services to/from HCMC (US$6, four hours), Nha Trang (US$6, five hours) via Ca Na (60, 000d, 1½ hours) and Dalat (US$7, 5½ hours). A local bus makes trips between Phan Thiet bus station and Mui Ne, but it is irregular and slow. The best way to reach the beach from the highway in Phan Thiet is by xe om (50, 000d).
