Po Nagar Cham Towers is one of the places most visitors to Nha Trang make time for. A six-kilometre city beach in a sheltered bay, with Cham towers behind it, islands offshore and the country's most reliable diving.
Before you go: Shoulders and knees must be covered; robes are lent at the entrance. Go early — the brick holds heat and there is almost no shade on the terrace.
