Mui Dinh: Experience exploring the wild sand dunes and lighthouse

Located in Ninh Thuan province, Mui Dinh is a destination that still retains its wild beauty, a unique combination of vast sand dunes and blue sea. This place offers a majestic natural picture, an ideal choice for those who seek peace and love outdoor exploration activities.

Journey to Mui Dinh

Mui Dinh is located in Son Hai village, Phuoc Dinh commune, Thuan Nam district, Ninh Thuan province, about 30 km south of Phan Rang - Thap Cham city center. The beautiful winding coastal road leading here is an indispensable part of the experience.

To get to Phan Rang, visitors can choose from many means of transport such as motorbike, bus or train. From Phan Rang, the most popular choice to travel to Mui Dinh is to rent a motorbike to actively explore or take a taxi.

The ideal time to explore

The best time to travel to Mui Dinh is from April to June. At this time, the weather is sunny and the sea is clear, very favorable for sightseeing and swimming activities. In addition, August, September and October are also interesting choices when the grapes are ripe and many unique Cham cultural festivals take place, typically the Kate festival.

Unmissable experiences

Mui Dinh offers a variety of activities for visitors, from trekking, swimming to exploring unique structures.

Conquering Mui Dinh lighthouse

The lighthouse is located on the top of Mui Dinh mountain at an altitude of about 170 m above sea level. To get here, visitors will have to walk for about 15 minutes through a rather challenging slope. The reward for this effort is a panoramic view of the majestic and poetic sea and sky of Ninh Thuan.

Camping and swimming at Bai Trang

Bai Trang is one of the most popular destinations in Mui Dinh with its fine white sand and crystal clear water. This is an ideal place for overnight camping, barbecues, swimming and catching the first rays of dawn on the sea.

Explore the sand dunes by ATV

The vast and wild Mui Dinh sand dunes are often compared to a "mini Sahara desert". Instead of walking, visitors can rent an ATV to experience the feeling of gliding on the immense sand dunes. This is also a unique setting for impressive photos.

Visit the wind farm

Amidst the vast space of sand and sea, the giant wind turbines of Mui Dinh wind power plant appear majestically. The scene of giant blades stretching out into the blue sky creates a beauty that is both modern and in harmony with nature, a check-in spot not to be missed.

Local cuisine

Because it is still wild, food services in Mui Dinh are not yet developed. However, visitors can enjoy fresh seafood caught by local fishermen. You can buy it and cook it yourself or ask the locals to cook it for you to feel the taste of the sea in the most authentic way.

Notes for the trip

The road to the beach and lighthouse area is mainly sand, so it is best to rent a motorbike, jeep or local motorbike taxi for safe travel.
It is best to start your journey early in the morning or in the cool afternoon to avoid the harsh sunlight, especially when climbing up to the lighthouse.
Come prepared with drinks and snacks as food service is limited.
Wear sneakers or flat shoes for walking and climbing.
If camping overnight, you need to prepare personal belongings, insect repellent and should go in a group.
Always keep public hygiene, do not litter to protect the natural landscape.
