Doc Let Beach This lovely stretch of beachfront is long and wide, with chalk-white sand and shallow water. Doc Let (pronounced ‘yop lek’) is easily accessible from Nha Trang, and worth considering as a day trip (beach entrance fee 10, 000d) or overnight stop. Although there’s a small town nearby, the resorts on the beach are fairly isolated. If you’re staying here, be prepared to do nothing but lay around.
Getting there & away Head 35km north of Nha Trang on Hwy 1A, turning right (east) about 4km past Ninh Hoa. Continue for 10km past photogenic salt fields, looking out for the signs to the resorts. Make a left turn to take you through Doc Let village and then a right to the beach. There is no public transport, but tour operators in Nha Trang offer day trips often coupled with Monkey Island. If you’re planning on staying here, enquire at your resort regarding transfers.
