These areas are also hives for exciting sports on water such as paddle boarding, kayaking, kitesurfing and windsurfing, Mui Ne is globally famous for these awesome activities, and even holds an international competition in windsurfing and kitesurfing each year. Paddle boarding is a relatively new form of exercise which will thrill – a cross between surfing and kayaking, this sport is the perfect fun form of exercise. Trying out these exciting sports in Mui Ne, you will be able to make the most of the incredible waves in close proximity to the city.

However, always be aware that much of the Vietnam coast has potentially dangerous undercurrents and can see strong winds – so make sure you take note of any warning signs presented by lifeguards or visible threats to your safety.
