Tips from Nam
  • Always keep cash on hand to pay for services on public beaches and local cafes.
  • The best time for peaceful swimming is April–August; in winter months, the sea can be rough due to monsoons.
  • If you want to save money on food, head to the northern part of Bai Dai beach — fresh seafood costs less there than in hotels.
