Muine Beach is located in South Central of Vietnam, in Binh Thuan Province. Muine is specially famous for its white sand beaches, yellow sand dunes, sunny weather and especially great site for diving and kiteboarding activities.

The Best diving in Binh Thuan Province (or all of Vietnam for that matter) is at Ca Na Beach, 2.5hrs northwest of Mui Ne. The water is clear, the coral reefs are pristine, and the whole area as bursting with marine life. One thing Ca Na is lacking is very many tourists and the resorts to contain them. Vietnam Scuba has a very "for Koreans, by Koreans" diving establishment there. The website has some English, but we have not confirmed if anyone on staff speaks English fluently. Click here to read more about the scuba diving potentials at Ca Na Beach and the Hon Cau-Vinh Hao Proposed Marine Protected Area. Though all but undiscovered, Phu Quy Island Proposed Marine Protected Area also has a potential for scuba diving and snorkeling in coral reefs (but beware of sharks!).

From time to time, shipwrecks are discovered and salvaged off the coast of Binh Thuan Province. In the summer of 2004, three tonnes of coins and a cannon were discovered off Ham Tan District. Divers salvaged the coins from an ancient ship after finding a string of old shekels. Both the coins and the cannon were dated from 1822, during Minh Mang's reign, according to officials in Binh Thuan. The most notable shipwreck salvage is know as the "Binh Thuan Shipwreck" (full article coming soon).

Mui Ne Beach offers the best place in Vietnam or Cambodia for Kiteboarding and Windsurfing. Mui Ne Beach's hottest new activity now is kitesurfing, and our beach is shaping up to be the kiteboarding center of S.E. Asia. We have waves year-round and the best weather in all of S.E. Asia (and the lowest rainfall in all of Vietnam). Every day is a perfect day for kiteboarding in Mui Ne. Visit our Muine at IndochinaOrbit tours for more.
