A Peaceful Day in Van Gia

Looking for a peaceful escape from the bustling city life, we chose Van Gia, Khanh Hoa – a charming fishing village offering a simple, tranquil coastal experience. Our journey started with a bus ride from Tuy Hoa to Van Gia’s bus station, followed by a quick motorbike ride to our hotel, conveniently located across from the seaside park. Just steps away were the pier and a large park, perfect for watching boats come and go in the bay. Early in the morning, the pier bustles with fishing boats returning from the sea. It’s also the departure point for canoes and boats heading to Diep Son Island, famous for its unique sand path in the middle of the sea. Instead of a day trip from Nha Trang, we opted to stay overnight, spending our mornings walking the quiet streets, enjoying bánh căn (Vietnamese pancakes), and sipping coffee at a local corner café. The evenings were perfect for leisurely strolls through the park and savoring fresh seafood at the seaside. Van Gia may not be lively, but its clear blue sea, calm skies, and the slow pace of life make it the ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and an authentic coastal experience.
