Nha Trang vs Cam Ranh: which is better for a beach vacation and how many days to spend in each?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
3-4 days in Nha Trang is enough since the sea there is mediocre — better to combine it with a Doc Let beach trip and 3 days in Cam Ranh, where the sea, service, and villas are much better.
What the community said
In January the sea in Nha Trang can have waves, so with kids it's better to pick a hotel with a good pool — kids often prefer the pool over the sea anyway.

Three days in Nha Trang is enough — the sea itself isn't impressive. Cam Ranh was much better: nicer sea, service, and villas.

One trip plan: 3-4 days in Nha Trang with a day trip to Doc Let beach, then another 3 days in Cam Ranh.
