A wide, quiet sandy beach with resort hotels, reached by expressway and the coastal road.
Ho Tram is a long, relatively empty sand beach backed by casuarina trees, developed in the last decade around integrated resorts such as The Grand Ho Tram Strip. Outside the resort frontages the beach is largely undeveloped, with simple seafood restaurants and homestays.
Water clarity is moderate and the beach shelves gently, so it suits children when waves are low. The casino admits foreign passport holders only; Vietnamese residents are restricted.
The journey is long for a day trip, so most visitors stay one night.
