What to do in Hồ Tràm Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu Vietnam

Life in Hồ Tràm stretches along the coastal road between quiet dunes and the South China Sea. Days move to the rhythm of fishing tides rather than a town center. Mornings belong to the beach markets where charcoal braziers roast clams in scallion oil; afternoons slow to hammock naps under casuarinas. It suits travellers after salt air and cold beer without resort fanfare.
