Front Beach is one of my favorite spots on Vung Tau Island. The French once gave this charming little beach a more romantic name, Coconut Bay. Early mornings here are truly special. Bring your camera along. You'll witness small fishing boats returning from their night at sea, with families and wives helping to load the night's catch onto motorcycles, ready to rush them to the morning fish markets. Capture plenty of photos, but be sure not to get in the way. Evenings on the beach are more laid-back, and Front Beach transforms into a quintessential tropical paradise. Fishermen slowly prepare for another night out at sea. After the sun sets and most people have left, you might be fortunate enough to see an owl couple hunting along the waterline.
The sand on the beach wasn't exactly white, and it was pretty crowded, but it was still enjoyable since we visited during a holiday.
The beach has disappeared because of erosion. You will only find sand if you visit during the lowest tide. The resort nearby frequently burns its trash, so be sure the wind is blowing towards the sea.
Although the sunset views are quite picturesque, the beach is unfortunately littered with trash and the water doesn't appear suitable for swimming.
