Rows of coconut trees in Phan Thiet
Update: Feb 17, 2009
On the route to Mui Ne in Phan Thiet City, Binh Thuan Province, straight rows of coconut trees along the roadside appear to welcome tourists to the land of sand, wind and sunlight – the paradise of resorts in Vietnam

Many resorts in Mui Ne such as Terra Cotta, Seahorse and Victoria are decorated with coconut palms. The rustles of coconut leaves swaying in the wind in harmony with the sound of breaking waves seem to ease the stress of working life

In addition to swimming and playing in the waves, the seaside is a favorite place for camping under the shade of coconut trees. Tourist will be engulfed in pleasure when lying on the hammock, sunbathing in the airy atmosphere and enjoying the gusts of sea wind.

A visit to the seaside region of Ham Tien also takes sightseers to a land of coconuts. In the combination of the yellow or white of the sand and the turquoise of the sea, the green of coconut rows in the immense sky highlights the natural landscape in a tranquil atmosphere.

The coconut fruit is not only served as a healthy soft drink but is also processed into cake, candy and oil, which are local specialties often purchased by tourists as gifts for their relatives.
