Start with a pastry and coffee. Bakeboy - Bakery & Coffee is just a short walk from the beach and opens early enough to get you settled before the light changes.
17:06
Walk to Bai Duong Beach. It is a smaller, quieter stretch north of the Cai river. While the sewage channels make it less appealing than the main tourist strip, the beach is often empty during peak hours, making it a peaceful spot to wait.
17:36
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:36, with golden light starting around 17:06. This is the perfect moment to enjoy the view without the crowds.
18:21
End the evening with a drink at Altitude Rooftop Bar. Located near Nha Trang Beach, it offers a great view of the city at night. Note that it opens at 17:00, so you will have plenty of time to arrive and settle in after the sun goes down.
Local tip
Bai Duong Beach is mostly popular among Vietnamese visitors, so it remains quite empty during peak sunshine hours. For the rooftop bar, check the route as there is no direct walking path from the beach mentioned in the context.
