Qui Nhon
Qui Nhon is the capital of Binh Dinh province and one of Vietnam’s more active second string seaports. The beaches in the immediate vicinity of the city are not special, however Qui Nhon is a convenient – place to break the long journey from Nha Trang to Da Nang. The town used to be prosperous a few years ago, when the imported goods by sea was the major industry. There are some Cham towers along the National Highway 1 about 10 km north of Qui Nhon turn off. Qui Nhon beach, which extends along the southern side of the anteater’s nose, consists of a few hundreds meters of sand shaded by a coconut grove. The nicest section of beach is across from Qui Nhon hotel. Further west, the shore is lined with boats and shacks of fishing families. A longer, quieter bathing beach begins about 2 km southwest of the municipal beach.
