General information

Many tourists ask a question about Paradise Nha Trang beach. We are talking about the same place of rest - Paradise beach is located in the north of Zoklet beach, nearby is a comfortable hotel with the same name.

Zoklet in the southern part

The recreation area is located in a picturesque bay, the length of the coastal strip covered with soft sand is 6 km, however, swimming here is not possible everywhere. The beach on the right and left is dotted with boats of local fishermen. There is also a draw plot of the coast where no one cleans. The central part of the coast is owned by hotels, they are regularly cleaned there, but a gale inevitably brings garbage to the beach.

Tourists note white sand, fine as flour. In calm weather, resting on Zoklet is a pleasure, but it is worth blowing in the wind, and sand dust bothers you a lot, it will take a long time to shake it out of things.

The descent into the water is gentle and long, the true depth begins only after 30-50 meters. Given the shallow depth, the water warms up well. For this reason, families with children choose exactly Zoklet (Nha Trang) beach.

It is important! It is warmer and cleaner than on the city beach of Nha Trang.

As for the waves, in the warm season there are almost none, but in the winter season the sea is restless.

View from the sea

Vegetation is found throughout the coastline, so finding a natural shadow on Zoklet is not difficult. In the afternoon, most of the beach is in the shade. Choose yourself at what time of the day the beach is most comfortable - in the morning, when you can sunbathe, or in the afternoon, when you can hide in the shade.

It is important! If you are planning a trip to the beach in winter, keep in mind that at this time of the year it is quite cool in the shade. The weather and climate of Zoklet and Nha Trang beach are largely identical, because these are neighboring areas of Vietnam. If the city is cool and rainy, with a probability of almost 97%, the same weather will be on the coast.

Infrastructure

Not far from Zoklet beach there is a village, which, however, cannot be called a tourist one. There are several shops, a pharmacy, a cafe and a small market where you can buy clothes. In the village there are signs in Russian, for example, "rent a bike" and "massage".

Cafe at Ten

Near the coastal hotels there are cafes where they cook delicious seafood, sell fresh fruits, you can buy a set lunch. The names of the bars are "Birch" and "At Ten." If you want to feel the flavor of Vietnam, go to a local tavern for a bite to eat, and many locals come to eat here on weekends.

What you have to pay for

Zoklet Beach by the hotel

Given the enormous length of the coastline (6 km), the predominant part of the beach is free. However, it should be borne in mind that you receive the appropriate service - there is a lot of dirt on the right side of Zoklet, and in the center where local bars are located, there is almost no coastal strip - the sea begins almost at the bars.

You have to pay if you want to visit the beach section of the hotel. The rates are as follows:

  • entrance for adults - 70 thousand. VND, the price includes a bottle of water of 0.5 liters;
  • entrance for children - 35 thousand. VND.

Note! For this price you can park your transport, use the locker room, shower and toilet.

Reviews

There is also such

The overwhelming majority of reviews of Zoklet Beach in Vietnam are positive, however, there are negative points that are worth mentioning:

  • huge crowds of tourists of various nationalities;
  • strong wind and constantly flying sand (this applies only to rest in winter).

Nevertheless, turquoise water, white sand is a great place for a relaxing holiday without any noise. Zoklet (Nha Trang) is ideal for wedding photos, so some tourists spend wedding ceremonies on the shore.

Council of experienced tourists

You need to go to the beach overnight, but you can do this only in good weather, when there is no rain. In December and January, leisure facilities do not allow you to stay here overnight.

To enjoy a relaxing holiday on the beach, follow a simple plan. Come to dinner, check into one of the hotels, after 15-00 tourists disperse, the beach becomes empty. In the evening, order dinner in a cafe and drink a glass of wine, and in the morning swim in the sea, have breakfast and go to Nha Trang before the arrival of tourists.

Arriving at the beach for one day, be prepared for the fact that there will be too many vacationers around. If possible, it is better to stay on Zoklet for the night.

The best way to get to the place of rest and in addition to sightseeing.

Useful Tips
  1. Do not try to demonstrate your driving skills on the roads of Vietnam. Here the kings of the road are truck drivers and the main one who has the most cars.
  2. If you want to get to Paradise Beach, follow further ahead and, following the signs, turn right.
  3. Go to Zoklet beach, but choose good weather so that the sand does not overshadow the rest. It is best to rent a bungalow and enjoy the stars at night with the sound of the sea.
  4. The main part of Chinese tourists arrives at the beach by 12 o’clock in the afternoon and leaves at about 16 o’clock. During this period, the Doclet becomes much more noisy.
