It is surrounded all three sides with mountains and a large island on the fourth side. This is likely to result in a number of devastating storms blocked.

There are several resorts such as Vinpearl, Diamond Bay and Ana Mandara—and amusement and water parks, both in the city and on islands off the coast. The possibly most beautiful street of Nha Trang is Tran Phu Street which along the seaside.

What to eat

Toward Vietnamese food, the three Truc Linh restaurants are extremely popular and tourist-friendly. Across all restaurants Vietnamese seafood is a specialty, with the catches displayed outside nightly. They also have an extensive range of western foods on the menu. 

Truc Linh 2 Restaurant

Truc Linh 3 Restaurant

Truc Linh 2 has some Thai options, and Truc Linh 3 some Chinese options.
In town, Lac Canh is the place to go. Long established and always packed with locals, Lac Canh is a typically bustling Vietnamese street side restaurant. 

Hotpot of Beef

Grilled Meat

There, you can BBQ your own food at the table or enjoy any of the other seafood or rice dishes on offer.
If you're looking for some real Vietnamese food and you want to get away from the tourist scene, Nha Trang has plenty of places to sample the further you get from the beach, but typically you'll find no English-language menu - you can always pick and point and try your luck. There are a lot of store selling hotpots of beef and goat which place along Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. It's a great meal for groups -- usually served with dried noodles you can add to the broth once you're done with the meat. 

La Taverna Restaurant

La Taverna is a popular place with excellent pasta dishes, and of course the pizza that isn't too bad either. Just across the road, the long established Cyclo Cafe has a decent Italian menu alongside its Vietnamese dishes. Food here is very good and also cheap and cheerful - it's certainly one of the best budget cafes in the area. Another Italian here is of nationwide fame, having branches in five other cities. 

Indian Food

An extremely popular Indian restaurant is Omar's. The Indian owners and chef will boast to you about their quality fare, and rightly so as this small yet busy place feeds spicy sub-continental food to the masses. 

Good Morning Restaurant

A part of the Good Morning chain, Good Morning Thailand is the only Thai restaurant in the area - expect the usual spicy salads, sea food hotpots and fried rice. The French have plenty to choose from, including Nha Trang Yacht Club which boasts 'grand French cuisine' with specialties such as Clams in Saffron Cream Sauce and Fillet Steak with French Blue Cheese. The restaurant also has a takeaway menu which includes baguettes with pate and freshly baked croissants.  

Bars:

The choice of where you end is very limited in Nha Trang, but the pre-club choice is competitive, with countless bars fighting for custom with unlimited bargins during happy hour, usually from 19:00-22:00. It's best to check the bars for custom during your stay, as where's hip and where's not changes rapidly, with a few exceptions. For example, the Red Sun Bar offers a free cocktail from 20:00-23:00 and big cocktail buckets for 20,000 dong. They have a pool table, table football, and a street front seating area. The Red Apple Club has happy hour all night long including two for one fosters, with ladies night on Mondays. This place also offers free pool. For a change from the dance music pumping out of the previous two, pop into The Shamrock Bar, an Irish themed pub run by two Scotsman. Inside are imported beers and cider such as Strongbow, and a cosy public house atmosphere. 

Party at Guava

Upstairs Lounge

The funkiest bar in town is Guava, centrally located. Reminiscent of an urban bar come cocktail lounge, Guava is full of comfortable armchairs and, in the evening, loud dance music. 

Crazy Kim Bar and Restaurant

Just next door is the infamous Crazy Kim Bar and Restaurant. An outside patio area leads into the first bar area -- behind this are two more rooms including a bar in the back with two pool tables. 

Wine Counter

The room with two dentist chairs may give away what kind of things can happen here late at night.
