Best Time to Visit

Dry Season (April - August): This period is blessed with lots of sunshine, blue skies, and calm seas; perfect for soaking in the glimmering waters, walking on fine white sand, or simply getting a refreshing swim under the golden sunlight.

Rainy Season (September - November): When a quick shower can appear at any time, this is also the time for the grapes in Ninh Thuan to be at their best ripeness and for the Kate Festival of the Cham people to take place-the very event that offers a rich opportunity of cultural experience for visitors.

Culinary Delights at Bai Trang

Though dining services at Bai Trang are not as developed as in other popular tourist areas, its simplicity offers visitors a truly unique experience. Seafood is extremely fresh here as most of it is caught daily by local fishermen and prepared at once right there in small coastal cafes.

Beyond seafood, Bai Trang also reflects the authentic flavors of Ninh Thuan through rustic yet unforgettable local dishes.

The balancing act between fresh-from-the-sea seafood and homestyle local specialties produces foods that may be simple yet full of character, that sear an emblematic and memorable flavor of Bai Trang into an innermost corner of travelers' hearts and complete their whole trip.
