Are there snakes in Nha Trang and is it safe to swim/walk because of them?

TL;DR

Yes, snakes are occasionally spotted both on land (hotel grounds, Vinpearl park) and in the sea among coastal rocks — watch your step, especially at night, and avoid standing on rocks near shore.

What the community said

In the sea about 40 meters from shore, a snake was seen hiding completely under a coastal rock; there are many such rocks along the beach, and tourists often stand on them for photos without realizing the risk.

~40m from shore

At Vinpearl park, near the escalator by the zoo entrance (the topmost area), a small yellow-striped snake was spotted — it looked at people and slid into the bushes.

In a 5-star hotel, lizards were found in both bathrooms, and a small snake was seen outside near the hotel at night; large snails can also be underfoot after dark — it's recommended to watch your step carefully at night.
