Well worth a visit is the hot springs spa, where you can have a mud bath, mineral springs, swimming pool and massage for only a few dollars - is a really relaxing day out. Best way to get there is on a motor bike ride (you can hail them down on the street) for about £1 return, is a bit scary to begin with, but good fun!

Nha Trang is a lively resort town with many travellers hotels and bars. A good place to stop for a bit a beach time.
The hot springs, boat trips in the bay and lazing on the beach are all recommended.
It is worth noting that the new airport is 35 minutes drive from town and will cost around $10US for a taxi.

Would recommend a visit to the cham towers in Nha Trang. Other than that, there isn't much else to see in the town - except for the brilliant beach of course! Some good beach front restaurants and bars - we particularly liked the Nha Trang Sailing Club Restaurant.

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.

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).

The beach didn't look very enticing and after a single 10 minute swim in the violent surf breaks, my original assumption of the beach was very well validated. The hot springs about 2 km north of Nha Trang was very relaxing and great value for money, the mud baths were so well enjoyed I went back there for a second time.
As expected, Nha Trang is essentially a party town, a Mama Han Green Hat boat tour was very well enjoyed and every night of our stay in Nha Trang was spent at the Crazy Kim's bar and the Nha Trang Sailing Club partying with other travelers till the 'wee' hours of the morning.

A walk around the harbour and visit Cham temple is very nice.
And a boat trip for snorkelling and bathing is a must (we went with Mama Linh - very good).

There is a natural hot spring near Nha Trang where for just over US$3 you can enjoy 15 minutes soaking in mineral mud, and then 13 minutes in a tub of hot spring water drawn directly from the spring, and then have a massage by hard jet streams of the mineral water. You then have unlimited access to a swimming pool filled with the hot spring water. A towel is supplied and there are massage facilities and a restaurant on site.

Nha Trang is a pretty good beach town, but be warned -- the water is blue, but there is garbage floating in it. The Vietnamese don't seem to have the respect for the environment that you would hope they have. Plenty of plastic bags floating in the turquoise waters. If you want to go scuba diving, check out Octupus Diving, they are run by an Aussie and have very high standards.

Nha Trang is a beautiful seaside town. I would recommend to stay in a nice hotel on the beachfront as the downtown part is very dirty and more suited to the locals living there. We did an island hopping/snorkelling tour thru Javitours and the guide was fantastic. We also took a motorbike tour up to Doc Let Beach, the most beautiful beach in Vietnam - suggestions: do not do this tour by motorbike as it is 50kms away in each direction & also leave early in the morning because after 1200hrs the water becomes a bit rough from the winds (same with the beach at Nha Trang).
