Fishing village Làng chài Mũi Né
Dawn harbor at the end of the bay
Fishing harbor at the end of the bay: stand clear just after dawn while the boats unload. Crates, trolleys, and motorbikes move the catch onto the sand, then cards and coffee follow. Women prepare fish and bargain once the market is on land. The sea-wall grills are dinner on the same shore.

Stand out of the way just after dawn. Boats sit together and the crews unload at speed, with crates, trolleys, and motorbikes. Once the catch is on the sand, cards and coffee start. Women prepare fish, aerate tubs, and bargain.

The harbor is the northeast end of the bay, in the fishing ward. Nguyễn Đình Chiểu (ĐT 706) and Võ Nguyên Giáp (ĐT 706B) run from Phan Thiet. Dinner later is the sea wall, the bo ke grills.
