On weekends, Nha Trang's main city beach gets very crowded, with dirty water and a strong dead fish smell, compounded by low tide. Weekdays are noticeably quieter, though water quality can still be poor.

After around 5–6 PM tourists leave the beach, and locals take over for their evening swim — some even bring soap and a washcloth to bathe in the sea.
