Nha Trang is a lovely place. Spend the day on the beach then head into town in the evening. All the restaurants and bars are on the road one back from the beach road. We enjoyed the BBQ restaurant Canh Lac most - it's at the North end of town by the river. A full meal for two came to something like $10.

Boat tours to neighboring islands are definitely recommended (in particularly boat #4). For USD7-8 you can join the simplest boat tour, which covers four islands. The tours are entertaining, enjoyable and furthermore food is provided.
The Sailing Club is perhaps one of the most happening places during the night. It is situated next to the beach and is generally filled with foreigners partying early into the morning.
For seafood, Truc Linh on is not a bad place to feast on the latest catches.

Nha Trang is the sort of "off the radar" resort that appeals to me. It's a real city full of real people that just happens to be on a beautiful stretch of the South China Sea.
You almost can't miss with any of the restaurants as the food is impeccably fresh and beautifully prepared. Try Nha Trang Seafoods, 46 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street; they are a seafood processer and exporter with their own restaurant, and Con Ga Phap, a chicken place with a French twist.

I would highly recommend the island tour offered at the hotel for about 8 USD. We were given (by the hotel) a lovely straw hat and a couple bottles of water. The staff on the boat was very attentive and friendly and the food that they served for lunch was excellent, especially given that we were on a boat, away from any kitchen facilities.
We got around primarily by cab, which was very inexpensive. A couple of times we used one of the motorcycles that consistently asked us if we needed rides, very cheap, but hang onto your hat! We had laundry done, about 3 kilos, which was washed, dried and ironed (and returned within 24 hours) for 12,000 dong/kilo. The laundry facility name is escaping me at this moment but I can look it up if anyone is interested.
We visited Chong Rocks, but only had limited time. It would be a nice way to spend a relaxing day, lounging around on chaise chairs having cocktails and snacks. We hired a local tour guide, she's very good and I can provide her contact details if anyone would like to know. She was born and raised in Nha Trang so knows all the good places to visit, and her brother owns a cab so transportation is quick and easy. We were given a day-long tour of Nha Trang and driven around, quite inexpensively. We saw the Palace, Dam Market, the temple along the bay, Chong Rocks and had a fantastic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant. Plus had some terrific discussions about Vietnamese culture. Her english is excellent.

I am lucky enough to visit Nha Trang several times a year on business. The city is a sensual delight - sun and sand, warm ocean breezes, unbelievably fresh seafood, the smells and sounds of the sea in the air at all times. I like Nha Trang Seafoods (46 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai St.) and Con Ga Phap (33 Le Loi St.) for roast chicken and the best french fries in Vietnam. Nha Trang is paradise.

Nha Trang is great, beach is lovely, you do get hassled a bit on the beach but par for the course really. Once the "vendors" get to know you and you've bought a couple of necklaces they tend to leave you alone. Some good bars and restaurants, not manic night-life but lively enough if you want it. Definitely worth a visit if you have time.

Na Trang is a very local holiday resort for Vietnamese and backpackers. It is very geared toward tourism in the main town area. Some great seafood at really cheap prices in all restaurants. Great diving (PADI 5) and boat trips to local islands not to be missed.
We took two days out to visit Hoi An (1 hour by plane) - highly recommended for the cheap tailoring of clothes and lovely traditional town.

A Phuket in the waiting. Cheap, nice beach and not the exploitation of Thailand...yet. That being said, you still have to bargain hard, especially on the beach. Worth it though, especially for the fresh shrimp and crabs cooked at your feet while lounging on the beach!

We rented bicycles at the hotel but they were in pretty bad shape. We did a lovely tour to Bao Dai villas. We had a tasty lunch down by the beach and a superb massage!
We took two one-day tours with Mr Nguyen Van Hieu from Khanh Hoa Tours. This guide speaks an excellent French and is very nice and an excellent organizer of tours. He was a great guide. He took us on a boat trip in the harbour and along the river, we watched people working in the rice fields and different artisanal artifacts. He took us to the hot mud place (Thap Ba Hot Mineral Spring). Very fun! He took us also to the fairy springfall.
We loved the Lac Canh restaurant so happily noisy with locals having fun and food so delicious. But all the restaurants we went to were tasty. We even tasted dog and enjoyed it!
We just would like to warn travellers not to buy anything or go into a restaurant if someone who is not the shopkeekper or the cook offers to help them in a shop or a restaurant. That person will make everything very expensive and take a commission for himself on everything the tourist eats or buy.

There isn't a lot to see in Nha Trang, but the beach is a change. The resort the Ana Mandara has a nice gift shop and good for a meal but very pricey. Ladies - do not walk around at night. We had an unpleasant experience on the beach with a local (during the day).
