Bai Truoc faces the town's harbor and is more of a scenic promenade and sunset viewpoint than a swimming beach, with calmer, narrower sand backed by the town center and views up to the giant Christ statue on Small Mountain. It works well paired with Bai Sau on the same trip rather than as a standalone swimming destination.
