Escape the hustle and bustle of Nha Trang's main city beach and discover the more relaxed atmosphere of Bai Dai (Long Beach), located south of the city center towards Cam Ranh International Airport. True to its name, Bai Dai offers a very long stretch of fine, often pale sand with generally calm, shallow waters, making it excellent for swimming and paddling. While development has increased significantly in recent years with new resorts emerging, parts of Bai Dai still retain a quieter, more laid-back vibe compared to Tran Phu Beach.

The main appeal of Bai Dai lies in its expansive sandy shore and typically gentle waters. It's perfect for long walks along the beach, building sandcastles, or simply relaxing on the sand and enjoying the coastal scenery. Numerous local seafood restaurants and shacks line parts of the beach, often built simply over the sand, offering fresh catches grilled or steamed to order at often reasonable prices – enjoying a seafood meal here is a key part of the Bai Dai experience for many.

Reaching Bai Dai requires a taxi or motorbike ride from Nha Trang city (around 20-30 minutes). While no longer completely 'hidden' due to ongoing resort development, it still provides a welcome alternative for visitors seeking beautiful sand, calm waters, fresh seafood, and a potentially less crowded beach day compared to the main city strip. Explore different sections to find your preferred spot along this extensive shoreline.
