Dry season (November–April) for clearer skies and more comfortable visits; sunrise and late afternoon are ideal to avoid midday heat and strong sunlight.

Hot and dry during the dry season with strong sun; brief, heavier rains in the wet season (May–October) can make access muddy. Temperatures often range from 25–35°C (77–95°F) in the dry months.

Approximately 20–30 km from central Phan Thiet/Mui Ne by road (drive time ~30–60 minutes depending on route). Nearest major airport: Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) about 200 km away (~4–5 hours by road). A newer regional Phan Thiet Airport may offer limited domestic flights—check current schedules. Access by taxi, motorbike, private car, or organized tour is common; some sections require short walks over sand. The terrain is sandy and uneven, so mobility-impaired access is limited.

Half-day (3–4 hours) for a focused visit; a full-day visit if combining with nearby attractions (fishing villages, Fairy Stream, or red dunes). Overnight stays in Mui Ne/Phan Thiet recommended for relaxed timing.

Lightweight, breathable clothing, sturdy closed shoes or sandals suitable for sand, wide-brim hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, scarf or bandana to protect from blowing sand, refillable water bottle. Bring a camera with a lens cloth (sand can be abrasive).

Try fresh local seafood in Mui Ne (grilled fish, squid), bánh căn, bánh xèo, and sugarcane juice sold by roadside vendors. Souvenirs include woven mats, shell crafts, and local handicrafts. Support local businesses and vendors where possible.
