More or less geared toward regional tourists -- chairs and tables line the surf instead of beach loungers, and affordable guesthouses are nearby instead of pricey resorts -- Doc Let is a good place to meet locals and get away from the backpacker factory that busy Nha Trang has become. Doc Let is 45km (28 miles) north of Nha Trang. You can get there easily on a rented motorbike (for something like 60,000 VND-70,000 VND). By rented car, expect to pay about 450,000 VND one-way. Once there, the choices of accommodations are slim. Doc Let makes a good day trip rather than an overnight.
