What to explore at Ham Ninh fishing Village?
On the eastern coast of the island Ham Ninh Fishing Village nestles in against the mountains, with nothing but endless sea in front of it. It a fascinating place. At hide tide the water comes right to the towns edge into the surrounding forestry. At low tide it shows up miles of beautiful sandy beach. The ocean bed has a very gentle gradient and you can walk out for hundreds of yards yet still be in shallow water. The only thing that breaks the endless sea view are the Pirate islands, away in the distance.
The Fishermen here, have plied their trade in a way unchanged by time. They are more than happy to take holiday makers out with them for a small fee. You get the experience of a lifetime, they get a few holiday dollars and some extra lines on the boat. This, like many others in Vietnam, is a poor area. There was a time when fishing was all they had, the introduction of tourism is providing a useful boost to local economies.

Tips for you
Reviews
We coming Ham Ninh village in the morning, so it seem to be great time to admire the scene of sunset over the sea .This place might not be so 'off the beaten trail' anymore, but it definitely has that feeling. It's a small fishing town on a beautiful sandy bayon the east coast. Where people talk about a quaint, rustic, even one where memories of ancient life and there are so fascinating to me. The jetty is really long. My driver took me right out to the end on the motorbike for a view back to the shore. This is reputedly a good place to have a fish dish for lunch! Every thing is simple but really worth to have even one time. And I am surely return soon.
