Ca Na

Ca Na is a fishing village on the southern border of Ninh Thuan Province in the Southern Vietnam region of Vietnam.

Understand

Ca Na is a sleepy fishing village producing fish sauce and reputedly some of the best salt in Vietnam. Several hotels and resorts serving domestic tourism have popped up on the beach along Hwy 1A a kilometre out of town.

Get in

Buses going between Nha Trang and Mui Ne can let you out or pick you up in the hotel/resort area.

Get around

The town itself is not very big and is walkable.

See

There is a small temple halfway up a hill near the hotels.

Do

Vietnam Scuba Resort offers non-certified scuba. Otherwise just relax and enjoy the quiet beach.

Sleep

There is a stretch of hotels and motels along Hwy 1A, including one run by the Mai Linh taxi and transport company you see all over Vietnam.
