The country has 1988 miles of coastline. Not greatly used for seaside tourism, it does still have some seaside resorts. This is the case at Vung Tau, to the south of Ho Chi Minh City, and on the coasts of Annam, to the east of the Country. Further East is a region offering a total change of scenery and sumptuous views. Its waters are pleasant, warm and ideal for swimming.
