Mui Ne fishing village, with its simple, rustic beauty and far from the hustle of the bustling city, is a destination you should not miss on your trip to explore Binh Thuan. Once you come here and immerse yourself in the life of the coastal fishing village people, it will definitely leave you with many unforgettable impressions.
Overview of Mui Ne Fishing Village
Not only is Phan Thiet famous for its beautiful beaches, but it is also home to many unique cultural features of people born and raised along the coast.
This is a peaceful small village on Huynh Thuc Khang street, home to the famous Mui Ne Fairy Stream, which attracts many people with its magnificent natural scenery. The village is located along the coastline, about 1km away, and only 200m from the bus station, so it is very easy for you to move around and explore.
The ideal time for you to explore Mui Ne Fishing Village is from June to August. At this time, Mui Ne Fishing Village has quite a bit of rain and lots of sunshine, making it extremely suitable for visiting and witnessing the fishing activities of the villagers.
What attracts tourists to the Mui Ne fishing village?
In Mui Ne fishing village, you will not find high-rise buildings, luxury hotels, or attractive entertainment services. Waiting for you here is a peaceful, natural scene, filled with the breath of life. It is the beach with fleets of boats going out to sea, and small houses nestled under the shade of green coconut trees.
The serene scene of the pristine fishing village will become a virtual living background that no app can paint. The blue of the sea and yellow of the sand, the blue and red of the boats, and the colors of the temporary tarpaulins on the beach are enough to create pictures filled with vitality.
From the road, there will be stairs leading down to the fish market below the beach. Sunrise here usually takes place around 5:30 a.m., which is also when the boats go out to sea and return, bringing back boxes full of fresh seafood.
The women of the fishing village on the coast quickly received the nets, spread them out on the already laid tarpaulin, and began sorting them for sale. Seafood will be divided into bowls based on size and type.
At about 6 o’clock, when locals and tourists began to arrive, the originally quiet coastline suddenly became a bustling seafood market. There are many types of seafood here, including squids, fish, crabs, lobsters, and snails. Unable to resist the freshness, everyone wants to choose a bunch of seafood for themselves to have prepared or enjoyed right there.
However, the Mui Ne fishing village market only opens from 6 a.m. to about 9 a.m every morning. Therefore, if you want to buy fresh seafood at a good price, you should take advantage of coming here during this time.
Coming to Mui Ne fishing village and not enjoying fresh seafood is really doing something “wrong”. Enjoying seafood while watching the sea and sky is truly unforgettable. Every afternoon, dozens of temporary tents are set up along the beach. This is the ideal place for you to enjoy seafood on the coast. Fresh seafood is carefully prepared, but the price is much lower than you expected.
If you go deep into the fishing village, the fishermen’s living area, you will have the opportunity to learn about the profession of drying fish & squid and making handmade fish sauce. One special thing is that fishing here is only done by men. The work of making dried seafood is only done by women.
Seafood will be processed, marinated, and then dried in the sun. Under the sun, seafood dries naturally, retaining the sea’s flavor and saltiness. This is a suitable gift for you to buy for relatives and friends.
