Mui Ne Fishing Village
Làng Chài Mũi Né
A lively coastal fishing harbor known for colorful boats, fresh seafood, and sunrise market scenes.
What to know before you go
- Mui Ne Fishing Village is an active fishing harbor rather than a formal tourist attraction, so the best experience comes early in the morning when boats return with the catch and the shoreline is busiest with local trade.
- Visitors can watch fishermen sorting seafood, see round basket boats and larger wooden boats, and buy fresh seafood from nearby vendors or have it cooked at local eateries. It is a simple, authentic stop that shows the daily rhythm of the Mui Ne coast.
