Mui Ne, a beach lined with coconut trees and a single road running the 5km length surrounded by hotels and guesthouses. Popular with tourists for its natural beauty and nearby sand blows, it has a relaxed laid-back feel to it which I welcomed after nearly 3 weeks in Saigon.

The Fairy Stream is a small river that winds its way through a bamboo forest and small canyon, resembling a miniature version of the Grand Canyon. You walk up the sandy ankle-deep stream barefoot, the warm red/brown water delicious around your feet in the hot tropical heat. 

You can climb up the red sand hills overlooking the river valley and slide back down. The sand seeping into the river giving it a red colour. There are also spectacular out crops of limestone that have been carved by water running down them, looking like upside down stalagmites.
