Things to do at Sao beach

Relax and swim

Sao Beach is sheltered from winds by mountains at either end, so the waves are very gentle. 

Seawater at Sao beach is quite peaceful, warm with turquoise color. The beach slope is not too deep, so it’s suitable for children and those who do not know how to swim.

Also, the sand in Sao beach has a beautiful color, not yellow like Nha Trang beach, nor dark yellow like Vung Tau beach but white as cream.

We enjoyed lying on the sunbed, enjoying the scenery with a cold breeze wind.
