Hòn Chồng rocks
Hòn Chồng is a headland of huge boulders piled on top of each other in the north of Nha Trang, a kilometre and a half from the Po Nagar towers — easy to see both in one morning. One rock has a hollow shaped like a hand — the legend says it is a giant's print. Open daily from 6:00 to 18:00. Near the water the rocks are slippery, so wear shoes with a proper sole. On the next hill is a branch of the Oceanography Museum with an exhibition on the deep ocean.

Nha Trang beaches: the city beach along Tran Phu, Bai Dai on the airport road, Doc Let 50 km north and the islands. When the sea is calm, rip currents and swimming bans, and how not to lose your phone.
What to see in Nha Trang without a tour: Long Son Pagoda, Po Nagar, Hon Chong, the cathedral and Dam Market in half a day; the islands, Yang Bay, Ba Ho and Bai Dai for a full day. How to get there, hours, what to do in the rainy season.
