Jungle Beach in Nha Trang is a quiet place for the best vacation. Gift from the hotel

Jungle Beach (Jungle Beach), also called Wild Beach, is a small but cozy beach on the Ninh Van peninsula. Despite its modest size, the beach is known to many vacationers, and all because of its seclusion, magnificent landscapes and the feeling of complete unity with nature, which appears here.

And no one around

Wild Beach and Jungle Beach are separated by an artificial mound of stones, which can be easily overcome, so we will consider that this is one beach.

We are on Wild Beach, it is more well-groomed and clean here, and behind this stone pier is just Jungle Beach

Where is the beach and how to get there

Jungle Beach is located 60 km from Nha Trang, you need to go towards Doc Let beach, but turn right before reaching 14 km to. A huge banner of the Huynday shipyard serves as a turning point. Along the way, you can see Vietnamese farmers drying rice (right on the road) and Vietnamese fishermen drying seaweed. Why they need dried algae is still a mystery to us.

Also, on the way to the beach, you will pass the shipyard of the same shipbuilding company Hyundai Vinashin Shipyard. The company specializes in the construction, repair and disposal of all kinds of ships, oil platforms, drilling rigs, etc. It was very interesting to see all this up close.

How to get to Jungle Beach from Nha Trang on the map:

You can’t get here by public transport, like to Zoklet beach. There are the following options:

• On a bike
• By taxi (approximately 800 thousand VND in both directions)
• As part of an excursion (for example, with organizers individual excursions on military jeeps and bikes)

We went to Jungle Beach twice, and both times we chose to rent a car with a driver, because in 2015 the road there was under repair, and it was uncomfortable to get on a bike. If you agree to go to this beach with someone, then the price is quite acceptable.

Watch a video about our trip to Jungle Beach:

What is on the beach

On the right side of the stone embankment, on Wild Beach, is the only Wild Beach Resort & Spa Nha Trang , room rates start from $ 90 per night.

Arriving here by bike or taxi, you will have to park in the hotel parking lot, for which they charge a small fee (about 50 thousand dong per car, it should be less per bike). Approximately the same amount is taken by hotel workers from each person who comes here for using their beach, sunbeds and a shower with a toilet.

To get to the beach, you have to walk around the hotel:

And here is the beach! Being there, there is a strong feeling that you are in Phuket, and not in Vietnam.

Read some reviews complaining that it is incredibly dirty. But, apparently, we were lucky and during the days of our visit the beach was magnificent.

The cleanest sea, sand, mountains and just a couple of people besides us: paradise, and nothing more! Especially after the noisy, crowded city beach of Nha Trang with its annoying sellers of everything.

Only shells and starfish

On both sides of the beach there are picturesque boulders where you can arrange photo shoots.

Having paid for our stay on the beach of the Wild Beach Hotel, we get the opportunity to use the pool located on the territory:

And for additional fee for 50 thousand dongs, we were given a small grill with coals, on which you can fry seafood or meat brought with you:

How nice it was to have a rest in such a pleasant company!

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 a resort 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 privacy 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 you will pay 600,000 VND per day, 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.

We have been in Nha Trang for two months now, and today we decided to go to the beach, which many friends unanimously recommended to us.

How to get there

Getting there is easy. We were on our own, on a bike. The journey takes 1 - 1.5 hours.

Jungle Beach is located 65 km from Nha Trang. If you get on your own, then you need to go along the AN1 highway to the north of Nha Trang. You need to turn right at the Huynday shipyard (you will see a sign on the road):

Before this sign, turn right, then you will drive along the coast, immerse yourself in the aromas of raw fish, see fishermen laying out seaweed. Then drive through the village and at a dead end you will see the inscription Jungle Beach on the left side of the road.

If you are not on a bike, you can ask the resort to organize transportation back to the city. Some guests of the resort cooperate together to make it cheaper.

Beach coordinates: 12.431418, 109.287294

We are already “hardened” by bike trips, so we arrived quickly, and the trip did not tire at all.

Jungle Beach is a very quiet resort, if you just want to spend time on the beach, swim and sunbathe, leave your bike in their parking lot, then the cost is 100,000 VND.

The territory is 6000 sq. m. On the beach, clean fine white sand, water of amazing emerald color. Very clean and transparent. There were light waves - and it was also very pleasant. And it's still very shallow. Which didn't bother us either.

On the beach there are gazebos with hammocks and sunbeds. True, not much, but quite enough - after all, there are also few people! Such expanse after a noisy and too crowded (and not too clean) city beach in Nha Trang!

We were inspired by the atmosphere of relaxation and pleasant solitude in the bosom of nature. No one interfered with each other, there were few people, everyone read or swam somewhere, in general, the impression was that the beach was wild and a whole big piece of beauty was ours! Especially at lunchtime, when the sun began to bake strongly, everyone left the beach!

True, we got a little burned out. Don't forget to apply cream!

Stay at a cottage

You can rent a bungalow in the resort. Everything is simple there, the houses are small and bamboo, but quite cozy, and everything around is so relaxing. The houses have electricity, fans, some bungalows have a separate bathroom. node. The main house has lockers for valuables.

You can rent a bungalow here for 600,000 VND. Included in the price Three meals a day, drinking water and lemon juice in unlimited quantities, after dinner - fruit. Breakfast from 7 am to 10 am, lunch around 12:30 pm, dinner around 6:30 am. Sometimes on the beach in the evening they arrange a barbecue, a fire. From food offered fish, seafood, beef, chicken, pork, rice (of course!), Fruit vegetables. From coffee drinks (delicious! I love Vietnamese coffee!), soft drinks, beer.

WiFi is free but it's only in the main building. All furniture in the resort is made by hand.

Entertainment and activities

From entertainment - the sea, the sea, the sea!

Home restaurant, there is table tennis, you can play volleyball, badminton, frisbee, go snorkeling, watch fast and funny crabs on the shore, pick up starfish and throw them into the water, filled with the proud feeling of a rescuer! nearby beautiful mountains you can walk there.

Of course, there is a shower and a cute family of very friendly dogs.

But the beauty of this place lies in relaxation and admiring it. beautiful sea! We noticed that everyone reads there. And in the gazebo we saw a mini-library. You can choose a book! Especially good if you read in English or Vietnamese.

The resort provides free bicycles for guests, and you can also rent a bike. Nearby there is Beautiful places- jungle, mountains, waterfall.

Inside there is a restaurant (very simple, rather homely). We arrived just for a day, we didn’t rent a house, so we were offered a dinner of 200,000 dong per person: rice, vegetables, meat to choose from. There is no menu, everything is very simple. We drank a cup of coffee with milk (15,000 per cup, very tasty, by the way, coffee).

We only went for a few hours. I think it would be nice to go there as a couple or a group of friends for a couple of days.

This place is just extraordinary. It relieves any tension and fatigue, and of course, it is impossible not to admire it! We are enchanted.

If you want to see what Jungle Beach looks like, you can watch our video we filmed on the beach:

The thing is that this beach is rather wild and small, rather it is a cozy bay, surrounded on all sides by "mountains" with lush vegetation. Therefore, there are no waves here, the water is crystal clear and warm, it was here that I really swam like a schizophrenic dolphin, and did not timidly step along the bottom in search of "poop". When I remember Unawatuna, I miss this place the most. Why is that? Judge for yourself.

01. From our hotel, which I talked about in detail in the previous one, the path to Jungle Beach is not close: about 30-40 minutes. First you go to main street Unawatuna, where the main life boils.

02. Wires, wires...

03. All kinds of hotels, guesthouses, cafes and shops stretch along a narrow road in orderly rows.

04.

05. There are no sidewalks as such, as, indeed, in all of Sri Lanka. Unfortunately, this is not yet a friendly country for pedestrians: the preference is given to cars, crazy tuk-tuks (taxi), buses (I will write about them separately, because the song is special).

06. The most popular way to travel in Lanka is tuk-tuk. Tukers here are myriad. It feels like all the men work or moonlight as a cab driver. The trip varies from 100 rupees to ... depending on the distance or the greed of the driver. Bargaining is appropriate and even necessary, but it is very important to agree on a price in advance, even before the trip, so that the amount later named does not become an unpleasant surprise for you.

In general, with regard to tukers and how they attract customers, I can give several examples of their ingenuity.

Hey, how are you? a typical question to attract the attention of a tourist
A polite tourist will always respond:
- Fine, thank you!
- Do you need a tuk-tuk?
- ...

Hey, very hot today!
- Yeah...
- Do you need a tuk-tuk?
- ...

07.

08. I told you that the locals are smiling and friendly. :)

09. Waiting for a victim! And how they are reckless! In general, in Sri Lanka, if there are rules traffic(signs, by the way, I never saw any), then no one observes them. They drive in the opposite direction, honk each other desperately with or without reason, and strive to overtake on the road, in short, complete chaos reigns. Surprisingly, no matter what we rode in Sri Lanka, we never got into an accident. Maybe the Buddha helped? ;)

10.

11. You are on the right path, comrades!

12. And all around vegetation! Exuberant, varied, palm trees, of course, prevail. Coconuts tend to fall right on your head. And everything chirps and lives.

13. This is where the tropical paradise is!

14.

15. The place seems to be chosen by hippies.

16.

17.

18.

19. And this is something interesting! .. Hut on chicken legs. We did not find any residents in it.

20. Seemed one of the sights of Unawatuna - Peace Pagoda (Peace Pagoda). This is a gift from the Japanese to Sri Lanka.

21. Its snow-white dome rises majestically over the jungle. The pagoda offers a beautiful view of the surroundings.

22. Meanwhile, the road from more or less paved turns into a leg-breaking one. Rocks appear, a steep descent and an endurance test.

23.

24.

25. But the view from here is breathtaking!

26. Jump-jump on stones. What good fitness!

27. Walking tree. I wrote about them in notes about Thailand.

28. Endless ocean. You stand, look at him and understand that all this was, is and will be. You come into this world, leave after a while, but it remains. A lump that absorbs everything. You feel awe and fear at the same time.

29.

30. The pagoda is left behind.

31. I am wet from intense walking and heat, but I build a happy pug. How else? :)

32. In some places, stones (or steps) are presented in the form of sandbags already grown into the ground. What a good alternative.

33. Finally, the beach appeared.

34. Once upon a time, this beach may have been considered wild and secret, but now it is quite crowded for such a small patch. When we came here on the first day in the late afternoon, there were almost no people there. And no wonder: the weather was slightly overcast, and the day was drawing to a close, but the beach belonged to us almost completely. That's when I got into them more.

35. Baldezh in Sri Lankan.

36. When sunlight the beach is very nice and some girls too

37.

38. The sunbeds here are wooden, there is even a small bar. Civilization has reached this place.

39. The ocean here is calm, the bottom is clean and transparent, a little further on the reefs there are fish.

40. The beach is surrounded by the jungle of Roomassala.

41.

42.

43.

44.

45.

46. ​​While I was swimming, my husband was filming beach dogs. :)

47. From the side of the water, the prominent Japanese Peace Pagoda is good. In fact, she's not the only one here. As it turned out after the departure (I prepared so carefully, yeah), not far from the Japanese pagoda there is another, more hidden from the eyes - Roomassala Sri Viwekarama Temple. This temple-monastery is hidden in the jungle of Roomassala Sanctuary a few hundred meters from the Japanese pagoda. It is little known and not mentioned in any guidebooks.In the temple you can see several beautiful Buddha statues, paintings and frescoes. It is very quiet and pleasant here, there are no crowds of tourists.

In addition to the above temple, the Yatagala Maha Raja Viharaya temple should also be mentioned. Yatagala Temple in the vicinity of Unawatuna is one of the brightest sights. Although he does not possess any outstanding architectural features and beauties, it is one of the most important Buddhist sites in the south. He is considered one of oldest temples island, and according to some estimates was built over 2300 years ago. The temple is built on a rock, but it is not fully cave temple. Unfortunately, we never visited both of these temples. :(

48.

49. It was great to sit on the sand and let the waves toss you. :) Oh, and I gave vent to feelings here!

50.

51.

52.

53.

54.

55.

56. A small crowd was noticed near the trees. It turns out that this little monkey has attracted everyone's attention!

57.

58. How many monkeys we saw later! .. But this is our first meeting. :)

59. After the beach, it was decided to climb to the Japanese Peace Pagoda.

60. Entrance to the territory of any Buddhist temple involves removing shoes. I thought that walking white marble It will be hot, but it turned out to be quite pleasant.

61. There is a temple nearby, the entrance to which is free.

62.

63.

64. The view from the pagoda is magnificent.

65.

66.

67. On 4 sides are golden statues of Buddha at different stages of his life. From birth to nirvana.

68.

69.

70. I really like the combination of blue skies, blue sea, white marble and golden statues. Celebration of life!

71. I wish I could at least look at the world with such relaxed eyes.

72.

73.

74.

75.

76.

77.

78. In the background, the fort of the city of Galle is visible. I will talk about it in future posts.

79. Buddha in paranirvana.

80. Birth.

81.

82.

83.

84. It is quiet, calm and measured here. We decided to go to the temple.

85.

86. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Buddhist symbols and paraphernalia. I stood at some distance from the altar, looked at the worshipers. Then the rector allowed me to take a photo and gave me some sweets (similar to our dragees) like "communion". And he asked for a small donation (alms to the temple). We didn’t have money with us (we were walking from the beach) and I, apologizing, shrugged. The abbot waved his hand, OK, they say, and blessed me. I went out to my husband, clutching the already slightly melted sweets in my hand, and after a moment's hesitation, we put them in our mouths. It's nothing that your hands are dirty. Buddha is with us! :) Sweets turned out to be tasty and harmless.

In short, you will be in Unawatuna, give my regards to Jungle Beach and the Japanese Peace Pagoda. ;) And if the rector suddenly offers you a treat, do not refuse and feel free to take it!

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.

Jungle Beach: reviews and impressions

Finally arrived! The plate with the Russian name is slightly alarming.

Machine translation Jungle Beach restaurant


Vacationers are predominantly Russian


The jungle beach is quite small. But there are few people on it


Sunbeds are free, you can bring your own food and drinks. Or maybe we were just lucky that no one noticed how we took them.


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. Because Jungle beach The 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.

Monkeys

Of course, this serious shortcoming of the beach is brightened up by exotic nature, as well as wild monkeys who have learned to ask for food from tourists.
