The morning air off the South China Sea tastes faintly of salt and diesel as the coach eases out of Phú Mỹ port toward Vũng Tàu. A short drive opens into a ribboned coastline; fishermen’s boats bob like punctuation marks against long sandy beaches. On arrival, the tour climbs Núi Nhỏ — a short, steep stair route that rewards persistence with expansive views over city roofs and the glittering bay where the sea pushes toward the shore.
