The Red Sand Dunes are located just a few kilometers from the center of Mui Ne, making them easily accessible. They are situated between Mui Ne beach and the White Sand Dunes, and are a popular stop for visitors exploring the area. As the name suggests, the Red Sand Dunes are characterized by their reddish-orange color, which makes them distinct from the White Sand Dunes. The sand gets its red hue from the iron-rich soil in the area. The dunes are smaller and more compact compared to the White Sand Dunes, but they offer a charming, picturesque landscape that’s perfect for photography, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light adds a warm glow to the red sands.

The White Sand Dunes (also called Bau Trang) are vast stretches of white, powdery sand that create an almost desert-like landscape. They are located about 25 kilometers northeast of Mui Ne, and they’re one of the largest sand dunes in Vietnam. The dunes themselves are quite stunning and stretch over a large area, offering breathtaking views, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light hits the sand, creating beautiful colors and shadows.

Covering 250,000 square meters of mountain forest, Ta Cu Mountain Park is a sanctuary for wildlife crowned by a Buddhist pagoda. Those of strong body can opt for the 2-hour hike up the mountain, which is made a bit more comfortable thanks to the smaller shrines and a restaurant position on the way. The more mindful will likely want to enjoy the panoramic views offered by a ride in the cable car, though this comes at an extra fee. Once you reach the mountain’s peak , you’ll pass the three entrance pillars to reach the Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda. Home to several prayer halls, the central attraction is the 19th century reclining Buddha - the largest Nirvana Shakyamuni style in Southeast Asia. Nearby are the 7-meter-tall “Three Buddha Postures” statues, each of which depicts a different Buddha.
