Ha Long – Van Don Highway

Since its establishment in late 2018, Ha Long - Van Don highway, which is 60km in length, has become one of the most beautiful beachside roads in Vietnam. The road offers a different view towards Vietnam's iconic Ha Long Bay. When seen from above, the road looks like soft silk curving through the jungle.

Cam Hai Bridge, a part of the highway, is a highlight. The 790m-long bridge connects Cam Pha city and Van Don district. From the bridge, visitors can admire a watercolor-like scene of the whole region.

Bau Trang - Phan Ri Cua Road

Bau Trang - Phan Ri is known for its peaceful beauty. Unlike those that run through hustle seaside cities, the road has a wild and unique vibe. Bau Trang - Phan Tri Cua road is surrounded by white sand, light blue sky, and deep blue sea, which seems to lengthen the road. Against such a clear blue and white background, any outfit stands out. Therefore, visitors can easily take photos that suit their Instagram boards.

Long Hai - Mui Ne road

Running through a distance of 150km, the road from Long Hai to Mui Ne still remains unspoiled. The curving road lying between the primary jungle and the blue sea offers an adventurous feeling. Long Hai is rather close to Ho Chi Minh City. The beach can get crowded during weekends or public holidays as people flock there seeking relaxation.

Cam Ranh - Vinh Hy Road

On the road from Cam Ranh to Vinh Hy, visitors will reach endless green paddy fields, stunning mountainous areas, and shinning white salt fields. With such diverse landscapes, Cam Ranh - Vinh Hy road stands out among Vietnamese beachside lanes. Most travelers skip out on Cam Ranh and head north to the big smoke of Nha Trang, a much more popular tourist destination along the coastline. However, Cam Ranh, though lesser-known as a tourist destination, is no less beautiful.
