Nha Trang is one of Vietnam's premier seaside resorts.

It offers miles of empty beaches, deserted bays, numerous islands and coral reefs that provide the opportunity to swim, snorkel and scuba dive.

Training and equipment for diving is available in Nha Trang.

Nha Trang is home to the summer residence of the last Vietnamese emperor, Bao Dai.

Today the palace is converted into a hotel.

Quiet beaches can be found minutes from the center of the town.

Boat trips to surrounding coastal areas and islands provide another escape for the traveller.
