TL;DR
Yes — in late June 2026 vacationers in Nha Trang reported stinging plankton in the sea: on one day children left the beach almost immediately. According to another family, the stinging was worst in the morning, making swimming impossible; by evening there were only occasional stings, and the next morning even fewer. These are observations from a few days, not a constant pattern.
According to another family in late June 2026, in the morning the plankton stung so much that they could not swim. By the evening of the same day there were only occasional stings.
The next morning, 29 June 2026, the same family noted that there were even fewer stings. In their case the strong stinging lasted about a day and then eased; a single case does not show whether this always happens.
On 24 June 2026 a vacationer wrote that plankton in the water was stinging that day, and her children went back to the room almost immediately. With small children, swimming on such days quickly becomes uncomfortable.
