The jeep grinds up through cracked red soil, tires throwing satin plumes of sand as the coastline widens and the sky takes on a harsher blue. In a half-day you move from palm-lined resort roads to a landscape that feels engineered by wind: sweeping white dunes, streaked red slopes and shallow lagoons where lotuses float like flat coins.

Mui Ne grew as a fishing community; its dunes were formed by sediment transported from rivers and reorganized by prevailing coastal winds over the past centuries.
Conservation
Dunes are dynamic and fragile—stay on designated routes, avoid removing sand or plants, and support low-impact local vendors.

Time your visit
Book early-morning or late-afternoon departures to avoid peak heat and harsh midday light for photos.
Wear appropriate footwear
Choose closed sandals or lightweight hiking shoes—sand is hot and loose, and some short walks are over uneven surfaces.
Bring cash and water
Some entrance fees and local vendors accept only cash; carry a refillable water bottle and small bills for snacks.
Protect the landscape
Stick to marked paths and avoid trampling dune vegetation—erosion is a local concern and paths change with wind.
Sunscreen & hat
High SPF and a brimmed hat protect against intense coastal sun on exposed dunes.
