How to save money on beach chairs and umbrellas in Nha Trang?

Beaches in Nha Trang and Doc Let are municipal and free — you only pay if you rent a separate lounger or buy a hotel day pass. Some lounger vendors try to push people off the sand who bring their own towels, but this is illegal; you can lie on your own towel without a lounger anywhere on the public beach except hotel territory.

At the water park there's a combo price: sea access + lounger + towel + small water — 150,000 VND, or 350,000 VND if it includes water park entry.

The beach at the resort with the water park is ticketed separately from the water park: 200,000 VND for adults and 100,000 VND for children, including a sun lounger, towel, and a drink. There is a bar on the beach for lunch. An electric cart runs from the hotel to the beach.

Buying your own beach umbrella and mat is more economical than renting loungers daily — the cost pays off within a couple of days. You also get the freedom to use any beach. If your hotel provides beach towels, you only need to buy an umbrella.

A free alternative is to set up your umbrella, lounger, or tent in the open stretches of shoreline between organized beach areas — these spots are public and free to use.

At the Nha Trang water park, a sun lounger with a towel costs 150,000 VND. The towels are small — roughly half the size of a standard beach towel. Shaded lounger spots are limited, so arrive before 11am to secure one.
