Jungle Beach is the best beach around Nha Trang. How to get to Jungle Beach from Nha Trang on the map

In Unawatuna, a popular resort village in Sri Lanka, there is a small remote beach with beautiful name Jungle Beach. We were primarily interested in the picturesque mountain road, beautiful views the beach itself and wild monkeys. You can walk to it on foot from Unawatuna in 20 minutes.

Road to Jungle beach

We followed the signs on foot. The route takes 20-30 minutes. First we go through the village, then we go up the hill. The paved road turns into a narrow path. Jungles begin to creep in from all sides.

The trail is well looked after so that it does not overgrow


At some point, you even need to cross a mountain stream


Barbed wire keeps you from wanting to get lost in the jungle


A Buddhist stupa is visible on the hill to the right.


We went out on a mountain dirt road

Jungle Beach Lookout

Along the way, you can find a small observation deck. This is where the amazing views begin.

Amazing view! Jungle, huge stones on the shore, on which waves break with foam


The waves in Sri Lanka are always big and look spectacular in such places.

We take some exotic photos and move on. It's so hot here, I really want to plunge into the sea as soon as possible! Ahead we see a path that goes down towards the sea to the beach of Jungle Beach.

The nature on Jungle Beach is exotic and significantly different from the main beach of Unawatuna


On the right side of the jungle beach, someone is always taking pictures on the rocks


Well, boats are moored on the left side. You can rent them for diving or go back to Unawatuna by sea


Diving and snorkeling are very popular at Jungle beach Unawatuna


And most importantly, there are small waves on the beach

Debris can float in the water

But there is one BUT. Since Jungle Beach is located on the other side of the bay from big city Galle, the water in this place can be quite dirty depending on the season and the current. As elsewhere in the vicinity of cities, the sea is heavily polluted.

During our visit, the current from Galle brought a lot of small debris to the shore. We got little pleasure from swimming, because either with your foot or with your hand you touch another bag or bottle in the water. However, according to our readers, garbage is not always there.

If you want to visit the heavenly place of Nha Trang for a while, be sure to visit Jungle Beach (Jungle Beach) - one of the best beaches in this region.

One of our favorite beaches near Nha Trang is Jungle Beach. A real pearl among all the many beaches located on the coast. It is the quietest and most comfortable, without the hustle and bustle that is present on the city beach.

Road

Beach coordinates: 12.452337, 109.282197

Getting here is quite easy, a convenient route leads to the beach, and although public transport no, it's easy to either drive and drive along the AN-1 highway. Jungle Beach is located 60 km from Nha Trang, in the eastern part of the Heo Peninsula.

The first part of the road, before turning onto the Ninh Van Peninsula, may seem especially difficult - there are many trucks there. Besides, locals not particularly inclined to be careful on the road.

Somewhere on the 38th km from the center of Nha Trang (from the "Lotus") you need to turn right. The turn is quite easy to recognize: there will be a road sign in front of it, and at the turn itself there is a large banner of the Hyundai shipyard.

Road sign

Signboard-pointer

Turning right, you have to drive along a rather winding road for about 20 km.

By the way, if you follow a straight line a little forward, then you will get to another beautiful, but more popular and noisy one.

In fact, Jungle Beach in Nha Trang is the name of the resort, which is located on the seashore. You won’t see the beach right away, because it is located behind small thickets that you have to go through, but it will not be difficult to find the resort, just look for the sign:

Jungle Beach Resort

Everyone, you are there.

Parking a motorbike and entering the resort costs 100,000 VND each.

Beach

The Jungle Beach resort itself is not very large, only 6,000 sq. meters, and fully justifies its name, as it is located among palm trees and is simply immersed in exotic greenery. It is not intended for active rest, there is no special entertainment here. This beach is perfect place to relax together in the midst of peace and tranquility.

Here it is, Jungle Beach!

They don't even organize tours from here. But near the hotels there is a wonderful market with very inexpensive fruits. It is best to come here around 6 am - then you can buy ready-made exotic Vietnamese dishes.

For entertainment there is some sports equipment in the form of badminton, table tennis, chess. There is a small library in English and Vietnamese. You can also watch marine animals on the shore.

Almost half of the beach area is fishing village, there is practically nothing interesting in it for guests and tourists. But the part that is intended for vacationers is incredibly beautiful. Everything is here - the sea, mountains, seagulls, excellent clean sand. It is of an unusual shade - white-yellow, small and unusually warm.

Beach view

At any time of the year the temperature sea ​​water here it rarely drops below 24 degrees, and at night plankton swims up to the shore, which phosphoresces in the dark. So you can swim in the fabulous silver glow.

There are comfortable, familiar sunbeds on the shore, but it is much more interesting to soak up the hammocks woven from vines. In some places on the beach, a feeling of complete solitude is created, especially at lunchtime, when the already few tourists disperse to their hotels.

Under a canopy you can hide from the scorching sun

There are never strong waves and storms here, so swimming is completely safe.

Despite all the advantages of the beach, the sun is still very hot here, so be sure to use sunscreen.

Hotels

There are only two hotels - Homestay Jungle beach and Wild beach resort 3*. Accommodation prices are moderate.

In Homestay Jungle beach per day you will pay 600,000 VND, they include accommodation, Three meals a day, use of sunbeds, sports equipment.

In Wild Beach resort 3 * the cost for two is 1,200,000 dong, but this is only payment for accommodation. Each hotel in the main building has a free storage room for valuables.

Hotels are equipped differently from the usual high-rise buildings with standard rooms. These are cozy bungalows, houses made of bamboo. Outside, they look very unusual and modest, but inside everything is very comfortable and practical. But these are not luxury apartments, there are no sophisticated amenities, and absolutely nothing more.

If desired, in hotels you can choose the food that you are used to, so that unforeseen health complications do not spoil your vacation.

What is very attractive in a hot climate is that water and lemon juice are included in the price, they are offered in any quantity.

Near the hotels there is a Vietnamese market, where you can also buy your usual food.

Wi-Fi in the houses is quite good, you can use it even on the coast, near the ocean itself.

At first it may seem that the staff is not very sociable. This is not entirely true - people in Vietnam are very hospitable, you just need to get used to their style of communication, here they have a completely different mentality and habits. They own a little English language, so in terms of communication, difficulties should not arise.

If you are tired of the bustle and the pursuit of time, then the beaches of Jungle Beach and Wild Beach (next to it) are what you need.

Relaxing holiday on beautiful coast, Without a large number tourists, from delicious food- what could be nicer?

And if you've been here before, we'd love to hear your feedback. Did you like Jungle Beach? Vietnam disappoints many in terms of beach holiday but only until they see this place.

Not far away is the interesting Jungle Beach. This beach is another attraction of Unawatuna. Previously, he was considered secret beach, but now Jungle Beach is very popular among tourists, so the locals constantly clear the path so that it does not overgrow. The beach itself is small, about 50 meters, and literally a few meters away, hidden behind a boulder, there is a slightly larger beach, about 100 meters. This is perhaps one of the few places in south coast Sri Lanka, where there are almost no waves and you can safely swim. The beach is located in a small bay, and on opposite side there is a fort, so garbage can periodically float in the water, unfortunately, this is typical of most places located near cities. There may be corals in the water, so bring swimming slippers with you. Romantic lovers should definitely visit this place.

Sri Lankans like to visit the beach on weekends, so it is better to avoid this time or do it early in the morning and late in the evening.

Things to do at Jungle Beach

On the way to the beach, a little to the left, there is a small " Observation deck”, made by nature itself, from where it opens beautiful view to the ocean and rocks. A little higher on the mountain is a Buddhist temple.

There is almost no infrastructure here, on a small beach there is a small cafe where you can have a bite to eat or drink freshly squeezed juice, as well as sunbeds, a shower and a toilet. Since the bay is well protected from the waves by a reef, this place is especially suitable for snorkeling, here you can snorkel along the coast.

From time to time, discos are held on the beach and locals distribute flyers in advance.

How to get to Jungle Beach

You can get there on foot, because. the beach is located two kilometers from the center of Unawatuna, the road runs through the jungle and takes about 30 minutes. There are signs along the way to the beach, so it’s hard to get lost. You can also get from Unawatuna by scooter or tuk tuk, but you will need to leave at the top, because. The path to the beach is very steep and winding. Parking cost 50 . There is another option to get by boat from the main beach of Unawatuna.

As part of the article, I want to tell you about one, quite beautiful, but rarely visited by tourists, Jungle Beach. getting to it is not easy, so many tourists unfortunately do not always get to it. It is located in the Unawatuna region, which is called Rumassala. It's like a neighborhood in a city. You will have to go along the private sector perpendicular to the dirt road, keeping the landmark to the north. Soon the houses around will end, the area will become deserted, but you need to persistently move forward. Approximately after 1 km you will come out to the ocean.

Jungle Beach on the map of Sri Lanka

if you have mobile phone with a GPS receiver, I recommend to drive in its coordinates ( 6.018910, 80.239251) . Unfortunately, no navigator will show you the route to this beach, but it will not be difficult to find it, because it is located along, with a slight deviation along the way, the only road that runs along the specified beach and goes to the asphalt main road that connects Galle and .

By the way, the second option, no less effective - it will cost you a maximum of $ 2 for a taxi in both directions. It can fit 3 people of normal build plus the driver. If you are in Unawatuna itself, as an option, in order not to walk along a country road, you can take a bus along the main road to the bridge, which is in the north of the village, get off in front of it, there will be a dirt road to the left, it leads straight to Jungle beach.

Reviews

The beach is very beautiful, palm trees grow quite close to the water, there are many beautiful stones in the water, between which it is quite comfortable to swim, the water is warm, the wave does not clog. The most important bonus is that here, almost always, it is not crowded. Few of the tourists know about this beach, and even fewer of those who come here on purpose. In my deep conviction, Jungle Beach is very nice beach to take amazing photos. As far as my memory serves me, there are 2 cafes. When we were there, they were more like a temporary business. But you could dine in them, the prices were adequate. Whether there are these, to put it mildly, "taverns" there now, I don’t know, I’m more inclined to what they have.
