Wish you were here -- Mui Ne fishing village, Vietnam

Dozens upon dozens of fishing boats lie beyond the coastline, stretching towards the horizon. But my camera barely does this scene justice. My eyes strained to confirm what those large coconut oddities are littering the shoreline, and a local informed me were half-nut fishing boats. 

The Vietnamese villagers here work hard from sunrise to sunset, sitting patiently upon the waves in their boats, waiting for their nets to feel heavy with a fresh catch. Knowing how they capture what could be the next fresh seafood meal you have in this seaside hamlet is a priceless experience. 

Mũi Né is about 200 km from Ho Chi Minh City. It is located on the coast in South Central Vietnam. White sand stretches about 22 km from Phan Tiet (the largest and nearest town in Binh Than province) to the fishing village at Mũi Né's furthest point.

There are three ways to get to Mũi Né: either by renting a car, taking a train, or a bus. The trip can usually be condensed in a three to four hour drive depending on whether you start in HCMC, or elsewhere in Vietnam.
