Moonlight Chill Coffee Nha Trang

Moonlight sits on Pham Van Dong right up against the water, aimed straight out at the Nha Trang shoreline. Unlike places where you have to pick the right table for a view, almost every seat here looks out at sea, surf and sky.

It's a more everyday place than Sailing Club: normal café prices, no loud music, and it works for a morning of laptop time or a drink after a swim.

It opens around 6:30, and that is the most useful thing about it: Nha Trang faces east, so the sun rises out of the sea and does not set into it. If you want the sun on the water you need the morning, and this is one of the few seafront cafés open early enough for it.

At 35,000–75,000₫ a drink it is the cheap end of this stretch, and there is no loud music, so it works for laptop time. One caveat on the address: this part of Pham Van Dong has several similarly named sea-view cafés and we have no exact pin for this one, so search the name on a map rather than trusting a street number.

Other cafés with a view: cafés worth the view and the north-shore page.
