If you haven't yet explored every "nook and cranny" of this vibrant coastal city, let Petro House (Boutique Hotel) guide you through the myriad of scenic spots that will leave you "enchanted and reluctant to leave"!
1. FRONT BEACH
While Back Beach exudes a gentle beauty under the characteristic tropical sunlight, Front Beach offers a more vibrant allure, reflecting the bustling and prosperous life of the city. Also known as Bãi Tầm Dương, Front Beach is a crescent-shaped bay nestled between Big Mountain and Small Mountain. Flanked by large and small rocks stacked upon each other, it forms a natural "fortress" embracing the beach. The area presents a pristine beauty with its clear, cool waters. Immersing yourself in the blue sea with family and friends under the warm morning sun is an unforgettable experience.
Front Beach is one of the two most beautiful beaches in Vung Tau today.
2. FRONT BEACH PARK
Front Beach Park lies peacefully along the Vung Tau coastline, stretching along the tree-lined Quang Trung Street. This green oasis in the heart of the city serves as a familiar rendezvous for locals and tourists seeking tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.
In the early mornings or at dusk, the gentle sea breeze rustles through the coconut palms and lush lawns, carrying the distinctive scent of the ocean. Stone benches nestled under ancient almond trees offer spots to rest, read, or simply gaze at the sea and listen to the murmuring waves. Scattered throughout the park are artistic stone sculptures, subtle highlights that add to the poetic ambiance. Front Beach Park may not be flashy or ostentatious, but its simplicity and closeness make it an indispensable part of the memories of those who have set foot in Vung Tau.
3. VIBA MOUNTAIN
Viba Mountain in Vung Tau, also known by other names such as Tương Kỳ Mountain, Đại Sơn Mountain, or Big Mountain (Núi Lớn), is a prominent destination located right in the heart of this coastal city. The name "Viba" originates from the road leading up the mountain—Viba Road—a gently sloping asphalt path winding between the mountain slope on one side and the vast sea on the other.
According to local residents, this area actually comprises a complex of two mountains: Big Mountain and Small Mountain. Beyond its majestic natural beauty, the area attracts visitors with its poetic coastal road, where the deep blue sea embraces the smooth white sand, interspersed with rows of lush green trees, creating a romantic and peaceful landscape.
4. HO MAY TOURIST PARK
Ho May Park is a renowned tourist destination perched atop Big Mountain in Vung Tau City. Dubbed the "Miniature Da Lat" due to its cool climate and pristine natural surroundings, the park features a modern cable car system that allows visitors to ascend over 200 meters to experience a diverse entertainment and resort complex. Attractions include thrilling rides, children's play areas, an infinity pool, ecological landscapes, and serene spiritual zones. It's an ideal spot for families, groups of friends, or couples during weekends and holidays.
5. VUNG TAU LIGHTHOUSE (Ngọn Hải Đăng Vũng Tàu)
Vung Tau Lighthouse is one of the oldest lighthouses in Vietnam. Designed in Western architectural style, it's an 18-meter-high cylindrical tower painted entirely white. The lighthouse is connected to the operations area by a sturdy tunnel. After traversing the tunnel, you'll ascend 55 steps to reach the top. Along the spiral staircase leading to the summit, you'll enjoy the cool sea breeze and panoramic views of Vung Tau's landscapes. Its unique and novel design leaves visitors in awe of its special beauty.
6. OUR LADY OF BAI DAU SHRINE
The Our Lady of Bai Dau Shrine is a prominent and captivating spiritual destination in Vung Tau, situated on the slope of Big Mountain, overlooking the gentle Bai Dau Sea. Amidst the lush green forest, the 25-meter-tall white statue of the Virgin Mary stands solemnly and sacredly, as if watching over the entire coastal city.
This site is not only a sacred pilgrimage place for Catholics but also an ideal destination for visitors seeking inner peace. The harmonious blend of nature and religious architecture offers a sense of serenity and tranquility. The shrine is open daily, welcoming all visitors for sightseeing and worship.
7. CHRIST THE KING STATUE (Tượng Chúa Kitô Vua)
The Christ the King Statue—a sacred symbol atop Small Mountain—is an unmissable destination when visiting Vung Tau. Standing impressively at 36 meters tall with outstretched arms spanning over 18 meters, the statue embraces the sky and sea, offering a breathtaking and peaceful scene. To reach the statue's shoulders, you'll embark on a journey of 133 steps inside—a challenge that tests both physical endurance and spiritual awakening.
From 170 meters above sea level, visitors can fully appreciate the poetic beauty of the coastal city. The fresh air, cool sea breeze, and stunning scenery melt away all fatigue. This spot is also a perfect check-in location for those who cherish tranquility and photography. Remember to dress modestly and wear sports shoes to make your visit more complete!
