Top 3 Local Attractions

• Front Beach (Bãi Trước): Just a 4-minute walk from the hotel, this palm-fringed urban beach is perfect for sunrise strolls, sunset swims, and sampling fresh grilled seafood from the many street vendors that line the shore. In the early evening, the adjacent beach park comes alive with local families playing street games and practicing tai chi, offering an authentic taste of Vung Tau daily life.
• Jesus Christ Statue (Tượng Chúa Giêsu): Vung Tau’s most iconic landmark sits atop Nui Nhon Mountain, a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel. Climb the 800+ steps to the statue’s observation deck, which wraps around the figure’s shoulders, for sweeping panoramic views of the South China Sea and the entire Vung Tau peninsula.
• Vung Tau Back Beach (Bãi Sau): A 10-minute drive from the hotel, this wider, less crowded stretch of golden sand is ideal for sunbathing and water sports. It’s also lined with upscale beach clubs and local seafood restaurants serving the freshest catch of the day, from grilled squid to steamed lobster.

Travel Tips

Sea Beach Hotel is just a 2-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, so it’s perfect for a 2-3 day getaway. Book your room in advance during peak season (June to August) and Vietnamese public holidays, as the hotel fills up fast with domestic travelers. If you’re visiting during the rainy season (May to November), pack a light rain jacket and waterproof shoes—afternoon showers are usually brief and rarely interrupt full days of exploring. Ask the front desk to arrange a shared motorbike rental for around $5 USD a day to easily explore the peninsula at your own pace, and don’t forget to try the local specialty, Vung Tau fresh oyster, at one of the night markets within walking distance of the hotel.
