There is a peaceful corner of the ocean, where boats quietly return after a trip to sea, where life is closely linked to each wave, each fishing net. That is Ninh Thuan coastal fishing village, a rustic but vibrant picture of the South Central Coast.
Sunny, windy coastal area
Ninh Thuan coastal fishing village is located along the South Central Coast, where the blue sea embraces the white sand. With its terrain stretching along the East Sea, this place is not only famous for its wild, cool landscape, but also for the lives of fishermen - going out to sea to catch seafood every day.
One early morning, when the sun had just risen, I came to Vinh Hy fishing village, one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Ninh Thuan. The fresh air, the sea breeze carrying a bit of salty air, each boat sparkling under the sunlight created a vivid picture.

A peaceful picture of the ocean
The fishing village in Ninh Thuan possesses breathtakingly beautiful scenery. It is a place with a long coastline with blue water, where rows of small houses nestle at the foot of the waves, ... Every scene here always makes visitors stunned and moved.
An unforgettable image for me is the sunset falling on the sea. At that time, I sat on a small boat, watching the last rays of the day reflecting sparklingly on the water. The space was quiet at that time, containing a magical beauty, making my heart suddenly sink as if I was sinking into another world.
When the afternoon comes, the scene looks magical, captivating people
The simple fishermen
Not only possessing beautiful scenery, the coastal fishing village of Ninh Thuan also moved me because of the people here. Especially the fishermen who have been attached to the sea all their lives, each day of theirs is a journey full of waves and wind - going out to sea from dawn and returning at dusk, just hoping to bring a lot of fresh seafood to shore.
Having the opportunity to talk with the locals, I heard stories about going to sea, the difficulties when facing storms. However, the fishermen are always proud of having kept their ancestors' profession - a profession that is salty with the taste of the ocean, the taste of sweat all year round.
Boats are a means of livelihood, and also a place to preserve the stories of fishermen for generations
The sea gives fish, gives shrimp, gives life, but sometimes the sea is angry, the fishermen can only rely on experience and perseverance.
I wondered: "How many of the children living in the fishing village, when they grow up, will continue to go to sea? Or will this profession also fade away and decline over time?". The more I saw the children happily playing with the sand and the sea, the more I couldn't help but wonder and be curious.
When the children in the fishing village grow up, will they follow in their fathers' and grandfathers' footsteps to become fishermen?
A memorable trip to the sea
Leaving the bustling tourist areas, the journey to Ninh Thuan fishing village gave me a completely different feeling. It was a simple, genuine space, where people could feel the breath of the sea, the warmth of the people, and the simple beauty of life.
I love the feeling of sitting on the beach, listening to the waves, watching the small boats bobbing in the middle of the vast sea. There is no rush, no car horns or bright lights, just a vast space and a peaceful soul all in one.
If you want to find a place to temporarily put aside the hustle and bustle, away from the city, try visiting a coastal fishing village in Ninh Thuan, to feel the breath of the sea, the rhythm of human life, and find peace within yourself.
