Beach Long sandy beach and emerging coastal resort

Ho Tram Beach is a long sandy shoreline on Vietnam’s southeast coast in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, known for resort development and wide beachfronts. The area has seen extensive investment in hotels and leisure facilities in the 21st century, turning it into a major coastal leisure destination.
Beaches are used for sunbathing, swimming and resort-based activities, and the nearby coastal landscape includes dunes and coastal forest. The beach is also a staging point for visitors combining beach stays with nearby natural attractions such as hot springs and lowland rainforest.
Historically a fishing and coastal community, the Ho Tram area has transformed since the early 2000s into a resort corridor with international hotels and entertainment complexes. Development has focused on beachfront tourism and associated infrastructure.
Ho Tram lies on Vietnam’s southeastern coast in Xuyen Moc district, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, roughly 120-140 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City by road and within easy driving distance for weekend trips.
- Best time to visit: Dry season from November to April is best for sun and calm sea conditions; monsoon months can bring heavier rain and rough seas.

Tips for Visiting Ho Tram Beach #
- If the goal is a quiet stretch of sand, head away from the main resort clusters and walk east along the shoreline-the hotels tend to concentrate near the casino area.
- Bring sun protection and expect a strong sun-best for beaching and fishing rather than sightseeing in the heat of midday.
- Arrange transfers from Ho Chi Minh City in advance; road conditions and travel time can vary.
