Bãi Rêu scenic overlook and Nha Trang View 378 Cafe

Nha Trang is famous for its breathtaking ocean views and kilometers of white sand beaches. But where can you relax with some food or a drink and take in the beachfront views? One of the places is Bãi Rêu (“mossy beach”), just south of the Trần Phú Bridge. 

The View

Access the spot from just opposite where Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm street spills out onto Trần Phú boulevard.  There’s a large parking lot servicing a guest house (Nhà Nghỉ Dưỡng 378), a cafe/restaurant (Nha Trang View 378), and the view. 

The surrounding shore itself is nothing to write home about: a forest of stump-like cement breakwaters, covered in treacherous moss and algae - if you venture out there, watch your step! 

But from the parking lot, or better yet from the cafe, you can see the whole sweep of Nha Trang Beach, clear down to the naval base and Tre Island. 

The cafe 

Grab a ca phe sửa da (Vietnamese iced coffee, 25k VND) and count up all the islands and islets as you gaze out into Nha Trang Bay.

A handful of breakfast items are also available at the cafe, at reasonable prices. 

Adjoining the 378 cafe is a large restaurant area serving pho, bun, seafood dishes, and more drinks. The restaurant has arguably even better views, and is worth stopping by to drink in the view, at least. 

Recommendations

Any time of the year, in almost any weather, it's worth it to get up early and watch the sun rise with a coffee from this great location!
