Mũi Dinh (Cape Dinh) is a rugged, desert-like headland located in Thuận Nam district, Ninh Thuận Province. Famous for its towering French-built lighthouse (1904), dramatic boulder-strewn landscape, and massive rolling sand dunes (Nam Cuong), it is one of Vietnam's most adventurous offbeat spots. The cape hides pristine coves like Bai Trang with absolute privacy.
Climb the historic Mui Dinh Lighthouse, ride off-road vehicles through massive sand dunes, and swim in Bai Trang cove.
