Witness a vibrant slice of local life and capture iconic photographs at the Mui Ne Fishing Village (Làng Chài Mũi Né). Located at the northern end of Mui Ne bay, this bustling harbour area is where hundreds of local fishing boats moor, creating a colourful spectacle, especially in the early morning light. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional fishing industry that has long sustained the region, providing a stark contrast to the nearby tourist resorts.

The best time to visit is typically very early in the morning (around 6 AM - 7 AM) when fishermen return with their overnight catch. The harbour buzzes with activity as boats unload seafood, families sort the catch on the beach, and buyers negotiate deals. The sheer number of brightly painted traditional fishing vessels packed into the bay creates an incredibly photogenic scene. Be prepared for strong fish smells and the busy, sometimes messy, reality of a working harbour.

Exploring the fishing village involves walking along the harbour edge or down onto the beach (watch your step!). While primarily a place for observation and photography, you might see fresh seafood being sold directly. Respect the locals and their work environment while taking photos. Visiting the Mui Ne Fishing Village offers an authentic cultural experience and some of the most iconic images associated with the area, showcasing the vital connection between the community and the sea.
