TL;DR
Easiest option: head 1-2 km south of the city center toward Vinpearl, where the beach is nearly empty and clean. There's also a public beach in the north near the Skylight building, or take a day trip to Quy Nhon for an uncrowded alternative.
At Nha Trang's far southern end, nearer the port and cable-car station, the beaches are noticeably quieter; they become less crowded the farther you go from the busy center.
For nearly deserted coastline, try Wild Beach (Jungle Beach) on the peninsula south of Doc Let. Bus 12-2 serves the route; there are both minimally equipped spots and completely empty stretches. For a return trip, arrange in advance for a taxi driver to wait and take you back.
The beach in northern Nha Trang (quieter than the central one) is good for swimming: no rocks on the bottom, calm water with almost no waves. The beach itself is small in size.
To escape the crowds, walk or drive south of the city center at least 1-2 km toward Vinpearl — the beach there is empty and clean.
As an alternative to crowded Nha Trang, travelers recommend visiting Quy Nhon — a smaller city with a beach of comparable size but far fewer tourists.
A few minutes' walk from the Skylight building is Nha Trang's public north beach — less crowded than the central beach.
