Located 5 kilometers east of Nha Trang’s city center, Hon Tre boasts a long swath of soft white sand, invitingly calm turquoise waters and luscious forests. The star of this wonderful island is definitely the mesmerizing beaches dotted with rustling palms. They are sheltered from the ocean storm and wind by the mountained fringes.
